Written documentation from an official should accompany any request for a change of enrollment status after the second week of class. Students are expected to attend every class and actively participate. Your contributions to the class are not only appreciated, but an important element of the learning experience. Excellent participation includes consistent attendance, punctuality, involvement in class discussions, and courtesy to others. Unexcused absences will hurt your grade.
Chronic tardiness is disruptive.
Please make every effort to arrive on time. Our profession values communication skills. To that end the class will be structured to provide many opportunities to write, speak and facilitate the work of others. You cannot do these things if you are not in class. I encourage you to share your ideas, thoughts and questions with your classmates and with me.
