Each section of the class will cover exactly the same content. All course requirements (assignments, tests,
exams, etc.) are common to the whole course. On a day-to-day basis however, the sections may not
maintain exact synchronization. You should therefore attend the same lecture section continuously.

MSAFs

McMaster Student Absence Form (MSAF). More information can be found at the following
link https://www.mcmaster.ca/msaf/index.html.
No follow up email is required. Grading will be as follows: MSAFs for midterms will automatically result
in the weight being added to your final exam, MSAFs for Avenue assignments will result in the remaining
assignments having additional weight so that the total assignment weight remains 20%. If you do not see
your MSAF noted on your Avenue Grade Book two weeks after submission, please follow-up by email to

automatically submitted on the due date if you happen to not complete it. It is your responsibility for
checking deadlines. No excuses will be accepted for not submitting your assignment on time. Questions
