    Attendance for lecture wasn't required but attendance for discussion kind of was (in class quizzes at beginning of discussion)

    Dr. Lohmueller was extremely understanding and willing to accommodate students (I.e. switching discussion sections and exam conflicts). The exams were fairly straight forward as long as you studied the slides and homework assignments.
