Only school-sponsored activities count as excused absences. Over 10 absences will result in a grade of F. If you are late to class, it is your responsibility to find the roll sheet and sign it. As a matter of courtesy to other students and me, please keep your personal conversations outside the classroom. If you continue to talk after being asked not to, you will be asked to leave the room. Please be on time to class.
Habitual tardiness is rude and frowned upon.
However, if you are tardy it is your responsibility to see that you are not counted absent. If you need to leave class early please let me know at the beginning of class. Habitually leaving class early will be counted as absences. If you have a cell phone or pager, please turn the sound off during class. You are responsible for disposing of trash and cleaning up spills.
