It is important that you give this class your best effort. That will include good attendance, punctuality, and participation in class. If you miss more than six class periods, you will be dropped from this class. Three tardies will count as one absence. If you must miss class, discuss your situation with me.
All assignments are due at the beginning of class.
However, do not miss class simply because you have not completed your homework. The class time you miss will jeopardize your progress in this class. Because you are responsible for all assignments due during your absence, please get the phone number of a responsible classmate or call me so you can get your assignments. If you must miss class, I must have your assignments at the beginning of class the day you return. Each original essay will be worth a possible 200 points.
