ATTENDANCE/PARTICIPATION:
ENT 300 is an asynchronous online course; therefore, students are not required to attend a regularly scheduled class meeting. However, students are required to work with their assigned teams to schedule and attend online team meetings as necessary to complete collaborative assignments and course requirements, and failure to attend or actively participate in required team meetings may negatively impact an individual student’s grade.
