-During class (be it a formal gathering, hybrid, or internet experience), you are to show your presence through demonstrating regular interactive activity on lab46 and related resources (irc, mailing list, the wiki). For classes with scheduled times, a bulk of this can be satisfied merely by having a shell open to Lab46, before class activities are underway.

For more internet-based endeavors, more of the emphasis will be on communications taking place with the entire class.+During class (be it a formal gathering, hybrid, or internet experience), you are to show your presence through demonstrating regular interactive activity on lab46 and related resources (irc, mailing list, the wiki).
