Attendance/Participation:

Attendance in class is very important. You are allowed 3 absences for any reason (no documentation needs to be provided). After the 3rd absence, your attendance grade will be dropped by 5% for each additional absence. It is your responsibility to keep up with your absences.

Being tardy to class (for any amount of time) without prior approval will be counted as ½ of an absence.

Students are expected to participate fully in-class activities. This means you should have completed all assignments prior to attending class and be prepared to discuss with your classmates.
