Attendance/Participation:

Class attendance is required for labs. Attendance is defined as (1) being in class, (2) on time, and (3) staying for the entire period. Arriving late and/or leaving early without notice will be treated as an absence. Students arriving more than 15 minutes late will not be allowed entry to the lab and will receive a zero for that day’s work.

Every minute late results in a 1-point deduction from that day’s lab grade, with a minimum 5-point deduction for late arrival. The instructor reserves the right to drop a student from the course after four (4) unexcused absences.

No make-up for labs, quizzes, exams, in-class work or presentations are permitted; however, 2 make-up labs are offered during the semester.

Late work will not be accepted. Work turned in after the deadline will result in a zero.

Students are responsible for accessing course materials and announcements posted on Canvas or emailed and should check email daily.

Excused absences include student illness with proper documentation, serious illness or death in immediate family, CARS department trips, religious holidays, court subpoena, and emergency circumstances evaluated case by case. Excused absences do not guarantee credit for attendance or work missed, but extensions may be provided for some assignments.

Students must notify the instructor in advance for university-sponsored events and arrange to complete missed work as practicable.

Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated and may result in removal from class and university sanctions.

Use of earphones, earbuds, or headphones is prohibited during class. Cell phones must be turned off and not visible. Texting or phone use during class may result in dismissal and an unexcused absence.
