--I recommend doing assigned readings BEFORE attending class.  
    You'll have better questions (strongly encouraged) and you're less likely to fall behind. 
--Please don't skip class to work on your project: 
    instead, come to class and ask/learn how to do the hard parts. It's far more efficient.
