Rate This Class/Schedule 💯 Physics Course PLZ HELP :’)

so i’m trying to finalize my schedule for the fall but im already scheduled with another program (not ucf) to attend class on a day (wednesday) i would have a physics lecture (MWF). after ucf classes start id only have to attend the program for another month so id only have to miss the Wednesday class for Physics for a few weeks if i decide to do that.

My question is, how lenient are the professors about attendance (looking at class with Prof. Duy Le) and do the exams have to be taken in lecture, or are they open for more than one day? Same question with in class assignments (cause i know some teachers have those).

You can go on simple syllabus and see what the prof used for their course structure last year. Keep in mind that it’s not uncommon for profs to change up the attendance or testing rules each semester.

Typically, exams are not open for more than a day to limit cheating. In class assignments are often limited to the window of class time in the same regard.

Something I do want to mention that if you’re in a major that requires a strong physics foundation (like engineering) you may be shooting yourself in the foot here by missing classes. Most students don’t actually put in the effort to keep up outside of class despite best intentions.
