CLASS ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION

WWT3000 is primarily a research seminar course. As a result:

t prompt and regular attendance in class aids but does not guarantee success in this course;

t if you are absent, it is YOUR responsibility to obtain the notes, assignment details, and information that you missed; and

t you are expected to participate actively in class activities. Not doing so will make success on assignments much more difficult.
