The university administration insists that you do not use tobacco products, eat, or drink in the classrooms or laboratories. Excessive absences may affect your final semester grade. Four unexcused absences may lower your grade by a full letter grade. Six absences, for any reason, may result in your grade being lowered by a full letter grade. Absences are reported to the administration so that the university may recover financial aid funds.
Chronic tardiness is unacceptable.
This row is to be left vacant for just this contingency. Two times late to class will count as one unexcused absence. You are responsible for the information presented at each class session whether or not you are there. In the case of some personal emergency, you must make an appointment with me, preferably in advance of the absence, to determine whether or not the absence will be excused and whether or not make-up work will be allowed. If you plagiarize a paper or cheat on a test, you will be urged to drop the course.
