Faithful and prompt attendance at class meetings is expected. You learn during group interaction, in class discussions and lecture. The supportive atmosphere of the class cannot be developed if you are not here to participate. This class will meet for 45 days. It is your responsibility to see that your attendance is recorded each day.
Attendance is taken at the beginning of class.
Three tardies or early departures equal an absence. Beginning with the third absence and each absence that may follow 15 points will be deducted from your participation points. I teach two sections of this course, if you must miss your class time you may attend an alternate section on occasion . If for some reason you must miss one class period, you are responsible for obtaining any information or assignments that were given out during the class missed. If you feel comfortable doing so, exchange phone numbers with another student in the class for this purpose.
