A readiness to contribute to discussions is expected.
Attendance policy. 100% attendance is usually expected. The effect of any necessary absences on that student's work will be assessed by the teacher, and where necessary extra work in compensation may be required. More than two absences may result in the student having to leave to course, if in the teacher's judgment too much has been missed. However there is some room for flexibility at times, for example for teacher trainers.
