Late arrivals are disruptive to the instructor and students.
If you are unable to attend a class, it is your responsibility to get all the assignments, handouts, and information for the class missed. Each project will be described in detail and will be assigned in ample time to allow for clarification of details during subsequent class meetings. Questions regarding what is expected of the student in completing an assignment will only be addressed prior to the assignment due date. Make-up tests will be administered only with proof of an extenuating circumstance and will be distinct from the test given in class. In accordance with the published University grading policy, it is important to understand that final letter grades reflect academic achievement and not effort.
