Attendance and participation in class and lab is regarded as a requirement and an obligation for learning. Students are responsible for participating in an attendance management system as designated by the instructor. Attendance / participation grades may also reflect homework, class preparation, punctuality, housekeeping, proper dress, and required equipment, supplies, and text. Students should make every effort possible to attend and be on time for all classes. Students will clock in and clock out on the computer in Room 116. Tardiness and leaving early will take off daily attendance scores. Failure to clock in and out will cause loss of attendance points. The time clock will be the final judge if there is any dispute pertaining to attendance.
