Periodically throughout the semester writing assignments will be given and will add up to a possible total of 50 points. The word processed assignments are due at the beginning of the class period. Otherwise, no credit. Individually or in pairs, students will report on preassigned observations, interviews, resources, etc. pertaining to child development issues. 50 points possible.
Attendance is required.
Each absence will result in a 2 point deduction from total points earned. However, three absences will be allowed before penalties begin. Six, four and two attendance bonus points will be given to students who have no, one, or two absences. The exception to this rule is an official, college excused absence . This means students will not be penalized for those days missed but they will not receive attendance credit.
