Attendance

Regular attendance is necessary for satisfactory achievement. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the student to attend class in accordance with the requirements of the course as established by the instructor.

Because this class will involve a great deal of reading and discussion, excessive absences will most likely have a profound effect on your grade. Reading quizzes are given often. If you miss one, it is up to you to complete it before our next class when it becomes a zero. Contact me via email ASAP if you are or will be absent so that we can avoid this penalty.

Late work is not accepted. If you are absent on a day when homework is due, you must email it to me on or before the due date. If you miss a quiz or test, you must take it before our next class meeting. If you have a problem complying with this policy, contact me ASAP.
