Class will begin promptly. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of the class. Student's will lose 5 points from the attendance percentage of the final grade for every class that is missed. Students will lose 3 points for every late attendance or early leave from a session. There are no excused absences in the class - athletes do not receive special treatment, medical notes are not accepted from physicians, nor are parents, students who work, or any other group exempt from the attendance policy.
Attendance is a grade, similar to an exam grade or a paper grade.
Students who attend class every day will be rewarded with a high score. Students who miss class will have points deducted for each class missed. It is the responsibility of the late student to make sure the instructor changes the absent mark. Do not assume that the change will be made automatically. Watch the instructor change the mark.
