Clarifications:

The record of attendance will be posted on Canvas. Students are encouraged to track it on a regular basis. Although two absences are allowed, it is strongly recommended that students attend all seminars.

Being on time means arriving by 10:40am, but no later than 10:45am. Arrival between 10:45am and 11:00am will be considered a late arrival. Late arrival for two seminars will be counted as one absence.

Attendance means staying until the end of the class. It is courteous to stay until the end of the talk even if the speaker runs over time. However, students that need to go to another appointment are excused at 11:35am.

Cell phone use should be limited to emergencies and critical communications. Laptop use should be limited to searches on topics related to the presentations.

Required text:

None.

Grading:

CR/NC grading based on attendance and additional tasks (credit for attendance may be reduced in case of late arrival, early departure, inattentiveness, or lack of courtesy to the speakers).

Cheating:

Any form of cheating will result in an "E" grade.  Students must give a fair and accurate indication of their attendance.
