Were there a lot of students present? Since my parking lot was a lake, and the waves had scattered debris everywhere, I skipped out.

Did they move the exams back a day? (I can't get email now like before when it went to my gmail acct.)


Thanks

First semester class was full, per usual. Exam schedule is what D. N posted, no modifications from what I can tell. Best wishes!:D

excellent question. i had and have a similar situation. People living in Georgetown weren't even allowed or able to enter town today, from what i understand.

I thought there weren't that many people in school in general. Maby that's because not too many people show for 2nd semester classes anyhow. But I would highly doubt if exams get pushed back. However, if everyone mails Dr. N, MABY something can get done...but who knows. Lata.

I thought attendance was mandatory? (i.e no more than 7 absences.)

You're right Jones, it is mandatory. How many you can miss just depends on how often the class meets. Take the number of times the class meets, and take 20% of that number and that's how many absences you can have for the course.
The way attendance works, is that there's a sheet passed around so everyone can sign. I would hope you can see how you can get around not being there...when perhaps one or two of your friends are. And anyone that denies it happends has their eyes sewed shut or their head in the sand.

But that does not mean that everyone has others sign in for them. It happens all the time, and all I have to say is, if Dr. N catches you cheating the system, yopu will definitely feel his wrath. IMO, don't mess with "the new sherriff in town" (qutoe from Dr. N last semester).
