In addition your grade may be affected by class participation. Class participation means being prepared for class and being able to functionally discuss the material when asked to do so. You should expect to be called on at least one time, but probably several more, during the course of the semester. If you are not prepared to discuss the assigned material when called upon your class participation grade will suffer. You are also advised that the class participation grade is by nature subjective and therefore subject to the professor s discretion.
Daily attendance is an essential element of each student s learning experience.
Much of the material discussed in this class is best understood when discussed and explained among your classmates. If you miss the lecture you miss the material. Don t come to my office because you missed class and ask me to go over what we did in class. If you miss class I will not make special arrangements to give the lecture to you outside the classroom. Academic honesty is vitally important to maintaining the integrity of the college community.
