Attendance/Participation:

Showing up and being on time are important professional skills. Students are expected to attend class as scheduled, arrive on time, stay for the full class period, and email the instructor if you will be late or absent.

You may have up to three absences for any reason during the semester. University holidays do not count as absences. After three absences, one point per absence will be taken off your final grade. Three occasions when you arrive late or leave early will count as one absence.

Your Practicum Instructor may be notified if attendance concerns occur.

If you are absent, it is your responsibility to get missed notes from a peer or handouts from the instructor. Use instructor’s office hours to obtain notes or handouts.
