You may request an additional excused absence or an excused 3 point day by scheduling an appointment with me prior to the day you plan to be absent and offering a compelling excuse backed by written documentation. I reserve the right to deny additional excused absences. You are required to submit your class notebook at the beginning of the period on the date indicated in the syllabus.
