There is no graded portion of class that comes from attendance. However, strong class attendance is advised and will be considered for borderline grade decisions along with class participation. 
\textbf{Please do not come to class if you are not feeling well. If you are not able to attend class, simply send an email before class letting me know.} Excused absences will not be counted as an absence. All lectures and sample problem solutions will be posted to Blackboard (Usually the same day).
