I want to enroll in the proseminar next semester, but I know that I’ll have to miss at least four classes. Can I negotiate this with the instructor?
No. You are setting yourself up to fail if you proceed with the course, knowing that you’ll miss a number of classes. Attendance in the proseminar is mandatory. There is no substitution for the vital information directly presented each week or the interactive learning experience that derives from peer and instructor discussion. If you know you will miss several classes, you should plan to take the proseminar another semester.
