Students may attend any section, but you must take exams with the section in which you are enrolled. Sections have different personalities, and you may visit all of them. If you miss your regular class meeting, go to another section to make-up the lecture material. All sections move at about the same pace.

Online econ students: You are welcome to attend any of the "face-to-face" classes that I teach. You don't need to ask for permission. Just show-up and take a seat!

Information regarding course sections, instructor office hours, and final exam schedules is located on the SRJC website.
