Attendance is the responsibility of the student.
You are expected to attend, but if you do miss a class, it is the responsibility of the student , not the instructor, to obtain materials for missed classes. There will be no make up of lecture exams without a written excuse from a physician. Excuses from Student Health Services will not be accepted. I should be advised in advance if you are going to miss an exam. Course evaluation will be based upon your performance on quizzes, assignments and exams.
