We will contact students who are not attending class to make sure they want to remain in the class. Regarding labs, attendance is mandatory. They should be treated like a job. Students may pre-arrange not more than two excused absences during the sesmester. If more than two are missed, an explanation is required as to why the student should not be dropped from the class.
All articles are to be prepared in newpaper format.
Broadcast students may file scripts for additional articles, but must utilize newspaper style for the required eight. Students will have two weeks for each assignment, though you may file at any time during the period. If covering a spot event, it must be filed within 24 hours of the event. A schedule of these mandatory assignments will be distributed on the second or third day of class. Four of the articles can be the student's choice.
