Attendance/Participation:

The percentage of the final grade derives from attendance (20%). Good attendance means that you are no more than 10 minutes late to our meeting. You are allowed two absences for whatever reason; you don’t need to email me. After that point, I will deduct the following points: 3 absence=2 points; 4 absences=3 points; 5 absences=10 points. After 5 absences and without communication to me, you are at risk of failing attendance.
