See attached schedule for dates. The instructor will explain specific WED 463 grading procedures in class at an appropriate time. Test norms will be provided showing how previous WED 463 students performed. Most problems and disagreements between students and instructors regarding grades, attendance, dress, and conduct can be avoided by open communication at the beginning of a course. An apology is offered in advance to the majority of students for whom the following information may be unnecessary.
Attendance is extremely important in a course that only meets weekly.
Students who miss class invariably fail to master the course objectives and perform poorly on examinations. It is recognized, however, that personal and professional needs and responsibilities may sometimes require students to miss a class. A third absence results in one letter grade deduction. A fourth absence results in failure of the course. Preceding or following an absence, students should contact the instructor to obtain any possible handout materials.
