ATTENDANCE

You are required by Faculty regulations to attend three hours of class per week in all courses.  

In E23G, there are two compulsory 1-hour lectures per week scheduled as follows:

• Lec. 1: Tuesday 2 PM - 3 PM (ALT)
• Lec. 2: Thursday 2 PM - 3 PM (LR5)

Students must also attend one tutorial chosen from the following:

• Tut. A: Tuesday 4 PM - 5 PM (A27)
• Tut. B: Tuesday 4 PM - 5 PM (ISR)
• Tut. C: Wednesday 1 PM - 2 PM (ASR1)

Those of you whose work commitments make it difficult or even absolutely impossible for you to regularly attend classes should change your registration and do only those courses which you could attend on a regular basis.  

It is not necessarily too much of a problem if you are forced to occasionally miss a class as you have my permission to record the class discussion.  Some students, for example, record the discussion and later listen to them while simultaneously following my handouts.  This is almost as good as being there.  Of course, as the exam draws nearer, it is important to attend regularly lest you miss important hints. 

Personal Consultation

Feel free, of course, to drop by during my regular office hours or make an appointment to discuss any aspect of your work in this course.

Too Many Absences

Students are asked to pay special attention to the university's Examination Regulation 22 which states that:

Any candidate who has been absent from the University for a prolonged period during the year for any reason other than illness or whose attendance at prescribed lectures, classes, practical classes, tutorials or clinical instructions has been unsatisfactory or who has failed to submit essays or other exercises set by his teachers may be debarred by the relevant Academic Board, on the recommendation of the relevant Faculty Board, from taking any University Examinations.

As a result, any student who has failed to attend classes without reasonable explanation, and who has ignored formal warning from his / her Head of Department and / or Dean, may be debarred by the Campus Academic Board from taking examinations in the course(s) in question, on the recommendation of the respective Campus Board of the Faculty.

Please note that students who fail to attend a minimum of 33% of the tutorials in this course will not be eligible to receive any grade for tutorial participation / presentation.
