When you do not attend class, for any reason, you lose the opportunity to turn in a question card and earn up to 5 points. Class begins on time and ends on time. You will find yourself becoming so excited about the concepts that you will want to add your opinion to the discussions. Comments to the entire class are expected. Chatting with your neighbor is not acceptable because it is impolite to those who have the floor and is disruptive.
Emergencies occasionally take place in a person's life.
If something should happen in your life causing you to drop the course, be sure that you have formally withdrawn. You will frequently be asked to participate in classroom activities, or to discuss some issues with your classmates in small groups. I am sure that you will find these activities helpful. The application of psychological knowledge creates a path to a higher quality of life. I can't think of a more valuable pursuit.
