If you have plans that conflict with any of these exam dates, please consider taking a different course. It is the student's responsibility to find out about such quizzes if they miss class or are late to class. I will allow students to drop their lowest quiz. I will then schedule 10 minutes with each student individually for an oral book report by the student. These book reports will happen on or near September 20th.
Additional absences result in corresponding deductions in the attendance grade.
If a student has an excused absence, that absence can be made up by writing a one page, typewritten answer to a question that I will give the student. Arrangements for such make up assignments must be made within one week of the excused absence of within one week of the final absence of a continuous string of absences. No make up assignments are allowed for unexcused absences. Students should take great care to prepare a presentation that is lively and informative. Please refer to the separate sheet on my expectations for presentations.
