Question

Hi,I read that for calculating grades,attendance will be considered.can anybody tell me how can i mark my attendance for these video lectures

Answer 1

Where did you read this please?

Answer 2

Hi pls refer this.(this s given under syllabus details)
Lecture and Recitation Attendance
A significant portion of the material for this course will be presented only in lecture, so students are expected to regularly attend lectures.

Recitations give students a chance to ask questions about the lecture material or the problem set for the given week. Sometimes, new material may be covered in recitation. Recitation attendance is encouraged but not required, though attendance and participation may be taken into account in the case of grades on letter borderlines. Please attend the recitation to which you were assigned, if possible.

Answer 8

I have to say that, unfortunately, this is not the place for that question ("Computer Science").

But here's what I'm thinking.. I'm thinking that your teacher used a syllabus from a course she teaches in person, just to make things easier. She might have forgot to take that attendance part out, or maybe it was just intended for another class. But I think the best thing to do is to communicate with whoever is administering the course.

Answer 9

Nvm, this might be the place to ask that. Sorry!

Answer 10

I didn't see the "mit 6.00 into computer scie...", and I assume that might be why this question is appropriate! My apologies!

Answer 11

"Nvm" = "nevermind"...

Answer 12

Answer 13

A moderator would know! I'm sorry I couldn't help! I think it would be appropriate here.

Does that look like your syllabus? I clicked a link to it from the bottom of the following page:

Answer 15

I was curious. That stuff is interesting.

Answer 16

On that last page, there are also some links for asking questions, general or other. I hope that is helpful. Good luck.

Answer 17

ohh.now only i am seeing that.actually i have referred the below link

Answer 18

I see! Glad that's resolved. Even that syllabus says that students are "expected" to attend class. This does not imply that they must attend.

Also, the grade structure is found closer to the end of the syllabus. The problem sets and three quizzes amount to 100% of your grade, allowing no room for an attendance grade.

Answer 19

okay.thank you

Answer 20

No problem. Good luck with the course!
