<p>Hello, I'm going to be a Freshman at IU. I won't be able to attend the first day of classes because I have to attend my brother's wedding. I can't miss the wedding because it's my brother's. I'm planning on emailing the teachers of the classes that I'm having on the 27th to tell them of my situation and make sure they don't think i dont care about the class. The classes that I'm having that monday are:
BUS X 106: Business Presentations
M119: Brief survey of Calc
BUS K 201: Computers in business</p>
<p>The problem is that I only know my teacher for the Business Presentation class, which is Susan Vargo. The problem is that for the other two classes the teachers wasn't listed, and so I can't find the email address to send the email if I don't know who is teaching the course. I'm wondering if the teachers will be listed on my schedule in onestart later in the summer? Do you guys think its going to be a big impact that I miss the first day of classes?</p>
<p>Welcome Week is very fun, you meet everyone and there's lots of parties. It's a bit dangerous, because that's when a lot of kids are exposed to drinking for the first time and end up in a hospital getting their blood pumped. It's not necessary, but it was a fun time.</p>
<p>Missing the first day of classes isn't an issue. Most classes will be basic instruction. Make sure you guys check OnCourse because one time there was an assignment due the first day posted on OnCourse and I never knew what OnCourse was until that moment.</p>
<p>The wedding was schedule in April. I was still choosing between Michigan and Indiana at that time (50k or 14k?). Plus, they had no idea that classes started that early for Indiana, in California, schools start in late September.</p>
<p>All of the classes listed are huge! The professors probably won't even notice your absence, maybe in k201, but you'll be fine! I've heard welcome week is amazing, I'm excited even though I don't drink!</p>
<p>A lot of times in those big classes though you have clickers, meaning you have to punch in electronically, and they will notice if you are there or not. That's how it was for my Criminal Justice class. Also, other classes, like my Economics class, you were required to turn in a piece of paper at the end of each class period about what you learned that class period. Other classes there was critical assignments due each day, meaning you couldn't miss or else you got a 0 on the assignment. Although classes are big, they make sure you attend. Only rarely do you have a big class that doesn't have some sort of attendance policy, and then you can consider yourself lucky.</p>
