Attendance at each session is mandatory. Any unapproved absences will negatively affect your final grade. Students arriving at least 10 minutes late or leaving more than 10 minutes early will be considered absent for that class unless excused by the instructor.

If a student is repeatedly tardy (even less than 10 minutes tardy), their grade may be reduced at the discretion of the instructor.
