If you are late or unprepared, you will be counted absent. Two absences will constitute sufficient reason to drop you from the course. You are of course entitled to time to make up work missed when absences are excused in advance or excused because they were caused by medical problems. Incompletes will be given only when the absences are excused and all but a small portion of the coursework has been completed. See UA's policy on class attendance and Code of Conduct .
Excellent participation can raise a grade, unsatisfactory participation can lower it.

We will discuss this process and assessment criteria as the semester progresses. Judging is part of learning, but learning is what should be most important for us. Academic dishonesty will result in a failing grade for the course, for openers.
