Attendance and grading
Like most courses in the university, attendance is expected but not
enforced. Please take note of the early meeting hour before registering for
this course. I do not grade this course on a curve; if you elect to miss a
substantial number of classes, you are taking a risk of failing the course.
The material in this course requires a degree of practice that you are at
serious risk of misjudging if you do not attend class.
