In class assignments cannot be made up. Students may also lose a letter grade on the final grade after the fifth absence and will be dropped from the class after the eighth absence . You are responsible for signing the attendance roster each day of class. If you have an extended illness or have some major reason for missing more than two class periods contact the instructor as soon as possible to avoid being dropped from class. Documentation will be required for excessive absences.
All exams are to be taken in class on the scheduled day.
If you must be late for the exam, you will be given an assigned seat at the front to prevent disturbing other students in the class. Reasons for the absence will be discussed and the instructor has the option of providing a make-up exam or not. Documentation for absences from the exam will support justification for a make-up exam. Make-up exams may also be of a different format than that the original exam, i.e., short answer or essay format. Papers are due on the date they are assigned and will be collected at the beginning of the class period.
