You do not have to take detailed notes during the
lectures but a copy of the lecture slides may be handy
to take short notes.

Attendance to lectures are expected from all students
although I won’t hold a proper attendance sheet but
sometimes on the spot attendance. This attendance
will have a positive effect on your final grade.
If the number of students in any class hour is less
than the 10% of the class size, I will take an
attendance sheet and reflect your attendance to your
final grades
