Attendance is necessary, since class activities are an integral part of the course.
When it is necessary to miss class, you are responsible for obtaining information and materials you may have missed. Each student may make up two chapter application papers. Other late written work will be graded using higher standards and must be submitted within the week following the due date. I will confirm receipt of e-mailed materials to the address from which they are sent. If such confirmation is not received, you can assume that your material has not been received and other methods must be taken to meet deadlines.
