Grading Criteria
Total: 100% |
|
Regular attendance is necessary for satisfactory achievement. This is an on-campus course. It is the responsibility of the student to attend class. It is also the responsibility of the student to get any information missed due to an absence. I DO NOT give my notes to students if they are absent. It is the student’s responsibility to get the information that he/she missed. You cannot participate in class if you do not attend; therefore, an unexcused absence will result in a 0% participation grade for that class day. Excused absences must be accompanied by documentation or cleared with the instructor. You will be required to scan in your attendance with your student ID or Ellucian app no more than 15 minutes before class begins or 30 minutes after class starts. If you fail to scan in your ID, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to let me know as soon as possible.
