Excused Absences:
Students are expected to attend all scheduled class meetings.
It is the responsibility of students to plan their schedules to avoid
excessive conflict with course requirements.
However, there are legitimate and verifiable circumstances that lead
to excused student absence from the classroom.
These are subpoenas, jury duty, military duty, religious observances,
illness, bereavement for immediate family, and NCAA varsity
intercollegiate athletics.

Appropriate Student Use of Class Notes and Course Materials:
Taking notes is a means of recording information but more importantly
of personally absorbing and integrating the educational experience.
However, broadly disseminating class notes beyond the classroom
community or accepting compensation for taking and distributing
classroom notes undermines instructor interests in their intellectual
work product while not substantially furthering instructor and student
interests in effective learning.
