However, no pluses or minuses. If you perform at a level less than what is called for an A or B grade you will earn a C grade or less depending on your performance. Punctuality with respect to assignments turned in and class attendance is very important. No late papers accepted for credit.
Absence is no excuse for delay of assignments turned in.
Also, any absence regardless of reason is still counted as an absence. Obviously, reason will prevail if several absences are caused by serious illness, injury or a family emergency.
