All academic work submitted by you to fulfill a course requirement is expected to be the result of your own thought, research, and self-expression. You will have committed plagiarism if you reproduce someone else's work without acknowledging its source. Because the class period is important and discussions cannot be reproduced, absences cannot be made up.
Excessive absences can have a negative effect on the student's learning and performance.
A student who must miss a class is expected to have the initiative necessary to cover properly the material missed. The student must meet all course deadlines and be present for all quizzes, tests, and examinations. Attendance record will be taken into consideration only in borderline grade situations as prescribed in class. It will only be used to enhance and not detract from the student's earned grade.
