but students must be present on examination days and the final class for project

A Note about the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL):
Hobart and William Smith Colleges encourage you to seek the academic
collaboration available to you to demonstrate your best work. Students who would
like to enhance their study skills, writing skills, or have any academic inquiries
can contact the CTL. If you are a student with an identified disability and
you would like to receive accommodations, please provide me with the necessary
documentation from the CTL at the start of the semester (students with disabilities
have to register at the Center), so that I can best accommodate your needs.
CTL staff encourages each of you to stop by Harris Hall to learn what is available
to you at this academic resource. Please contact the CTL at 781-3351 to make
an appointment or stop by Harris Hall (on South Main, next to Merritt Hall)
to meet with Center Staff.
