Attendance

  • Attendance to lectures is not compulsory unless the teacher tells you otherwise!  Lectures normally have a lot of people and it would be hard to keep track of who's there, however, not impossible!
  • Attendance to seminars is generally compulsory. These are smaller groups with a seminar leader and it's easy to see who's there.
