This class meets twice each week. After one absence for any reason, three points will be deducted from the semester average for each additional absence. There are no excused absences. Three tardies equal one absence. If you leave class while class is being conducted, it will count as a tardy. If you are more than 10 minutes late, it will be counted as an absence.
