Attendance/Participation:
The knowledge and skills you will gain in this course highly depend on your participation in class learning activities. Because of that, I expect you to attend all class sessions. I plan to track class attendance to help me understand how and when students are engaging in the course.
You are allowed one unexcused absence without penalty. The second unexcused absence will result in a ½ letter grade reduction. The third unexcused absence will result in failing the course. If you are experiencing a personal/family emergency or have another valid reason for missing, you must contact me by email in advance of the absence. Documentation may be requested.
Punctuality is expected. Two tardies (and/or early departures) will count as one unexcused absence.
Course Materials Purchased by the Students:
