  Attendance

  \ Attendance in class and lab participation is regarded as a requirement and an obligation for learning.  Starting with the second absence, each absence will lower the final grade by three (3) points.  Four (4) or more absences may result in a failing grade.  Being tardy three (3) times will equal one (1) absence.  Leaving early equals one (1) absence.  It is the responsibility of the student to make up any work missed due to absences and to gain missed lecture information through outside reading and/or notes from classmates.  Makeup exams will be permitted for excused absences, as determined by the instructor, at the convenience of the instructor
