INSTRUCTOR'S STATEMENT: As your instructor, I am always willing to discuss your grades with you and explain how your grade was determined. If a grading error has been made on my part, I am always willing to correct the error. |

Attendance
Attendance in class is regarded as requirement and obligation for learning. Students are expected to regularly attend scheduled classes.
There will be no free absences and each absence will be counted against a student's grade for the course. Historically, every two absences will lower the student letter grade by one grade level.
Students will be credited as being in attendance when in the classroom, and/or lab, when roll is taken, and still being in attendance until the class, and/or lab, is dismissed by the instructor. Class will start at the time printed in the official Amarillo College Schedule of Classes.
It is the responsibility of the student to make up any work missed due to absences and to gain missed lecture notes through outside reading and/or note from classmates.
If you are going to be late or absent, please notify the instructor as soon as possible.
Calendar
*Course calendar may be altered due to severe weather, campus closings, and special events.
**Field trips will be scheduled as available. All students participating in any field trip must have completed a Student Liability Waiver prior to trip date.
