If you miss sessions on a regular basis, more than 3 times in a semester, it will be reflected in your course grade. Ten points per class missed after three missed classes may be deducted from your final grade.

If you are absent on a performance day, your grade for that round will be lowered 5 points for each day missed. Come prepared with having read your material and text to each class . Please leave the paper, your other homework and sleeping behaviors at home, we need your participation not a distraction.
