If you do not do these things, you will not learn the material and skills required. I reserve the right to lower your grade one increment for extraordinarily poor class participation.
Absences are particularly detrimental during the compressed summer schedule.
Accordingly, if you are absent two times I may reduce your grade one level or withdraw you from the course. Two lates equal one absence. Please inform me of unavoidable circumstances in advance, if possible. If you are unprepared for a particular class, please leave me a note before that class begins. I am also often in my office throughout the week.
