Attendance/Participation:

Lab attendance is MANDATORY. Be there and be on time!

Each unexcused tardy will result in a 2-point deduction from participation points. Tardy is defined as arriving after the class is scheduled to begin.

Each unexcused absence will result in a deduction of 5 points from participation points. If the absence is excused, the participation points will be given back in the canvas grade book.

Where possible, it is highly recommended for students to make up the lab in another section. To do so, first acquire permission from your instructor. Then, email the instructor of the course section you wish to attend with your instructor included on the email to see if there is room for you to attend.
