NOTA SOBRE PLAGIO E INASISTENCIA: This course requires students to be present and prepared for each class. Regular class attendance is expected of all students. Absences without notifying the teacher and exceeding what is allowed according to the student’s booklet will be deemed excessive and may result in the student being dropped from the course. In addition, tardiness may be counted as an absence. If a student must enter the classroom after class has begun, please do so as quietly as possible. Each student is responsible for lectures missed due to absences. Thus, it is suggested that each student secures lecture notes from a student who attended the class. University regulations will be followed for any situation that involves both attendance and plagiarism.
