Why Attendance Matters

There are no marks for attendance in this class. If you don't believe me, just read your syllabus. But this doesn't mean attendance isn't important. You'll pick up things in class that will improve your writing. I'll show you shortcuts that can't be found in textbooks. And there are other reasons for attending as well. For example, on Monday we will start selecting presentation time slots. If you're not present, you'll be left with the scraps. So you can choose to pretend or attend. The choice is yours.
