Seminar attendance is strictly required. \u00a0Students may request to be excused for missed sessions under certain circumstances (for illness, family emergency, etc.) by sending an email to Prof. Pinsker –in advance whenever possible. \u00a0There is never any need to obtain an “excuse” from someone else (parent, nurse, coach, etc.). \u00a0However, not all requests for excuses will be honored. \u00a0More than one unexcused absence will result in a reduction in participation grades. \u00a0Repeated unexcused absences can result in course failure. \u00a0The same holds true for repeated lateness. \u00a0One or two “late” entries to seminar will be excused, but students who show up late for seminar more than twice will find that showing up late counts as an unexcused absence.<\/p>\n
Required of all First-Year, International and Transfer Students<\/p>\n
