Course recommendations
you are treated as an adult here. You are responsible for the information. You can attend lecture, discussions or labs at will. If you know or can learn the material, you can ignore everything all semester and just pass the test or write the paper at the end. The professors aren't bothered by little things, and are available to you if you ask them for help.
