Your success in this class is greatly dependent on your maturity, sense of responsibility and interest.

A large portion of the work will be conducted in a team setting and it is important for all member of the team to fully participate. All members of the team are equally responsible for any due work, so if you know you are going to be absent, make arrangements with other team members ahead of time.
