NOTE TO STUDENTS:

Review the attendance policy for this course carefully -- we make no exceptions

Attendance Policy – VERY IMPORTANT

This is a highly participatory course, and attendance is mandatory.
We take attendance for each class. Be sure that your instructor marks you present!
Class begins promptly. You will be counted tardy if you come in after class has started; three tardies will equal one absence.
Your Total Semester Points* (see ‘Grading’ on the syllabus) will be lowered four (4) points for each unexcused absence – which means that your final grade is lowered 4% for each unexcused absence. Once your entire point total for the semester is determined, the 4 points for each unexcused absence will be removed. There are no exceptions to this policy.
