After all, your choice in enrolling in University and specifically inthis course is your part of your job as a student this semester. As such, any student missing more than four days,which during the summer is equal to four weeks (!) of class, will fail the course.Additionally, provisions in the Affordable Care Act (yes, ‘Obamacare’- this part is still with us!) require that wetake attendance to fulfill stipulations affecting financial aid.The course covers a broad period of time and is very information dense, meaning we cover a great dealof material. The period of time we cover is from 1500 to the present day. Hopefully, you can appreciate theamount of material this incorporates. Missed classes typically result in lower course performance.Consider also that the material presented may not necessarily be found in your text.Required Reading:All readings will be assigned from Jerry H.
