Students are strongly advised to attend all lectures.  The posted lecture notes are only brief summaries of the material covered in class and we cannot guarantee that everything said in class is reflected in the posted notes!  Experience shows that students who attend lecture and study the textbook learn better and perform better on tests compared to students who rely only on lecture notes.
