The letter will only be sent home if a student has missed more than three assignments. I will only ask for a homework assignment from students' one time, after that it is your responsibility to turn it in to me. Failure to hand in homework due to an absence is not a valid excuse. As a general rule for homework, all assignments that were due during your absence are to be handed in the day you return. I am not responsible for reminding you of this.
Lecture is a part of any course, especially History.
Students' are required to take note on lectures given in class. They may also be required to take notes on videos shown in class. It is recommended, but not required, that they take notes on assigned readings. Any notes given during an absence should be obtained from a fellow student. Rules in the Brophy Student Handbook will be enforced at all times.
