We have a good textbook, so use it. There s usually a connection between class attendance, comprehension, and course grade. You may be the kind of person who learns best from a book, but the activities and information you miss by not going to class will hurt you. If you must miss a class, please notify me in advance. For good reason and with adequate documentation, I will excuse your absence.
Attendance is required.
Because we meet for lab only once a week, each meeting is especially important. Also, makeup labs are not available. You have only one chance to do each experiment. If you have a very good reason to miss a lab and can back it up with documentation, I will excuse your absence. Otherwise, use the following information to determine the effect of absences on your grade.
