I will be taking attendance at each session. Two cuts are allowed per semester with no impact on your grade ONLY one of these cuts may be from the lab period. Beyond that, I will deduct three points from your final course grade for each additional absence. Absence due to sanctioned events or illness will not be counted as cuts. While working on the academy vessels I expect you act in a serious, safe, and professional manner.
Life jackets are accessible aboard all vessels.
Likewise, in the simulator I expect the same. As a reminder, no food or drink in the ship simulation center. In addition to scheduled class room and lab times you will be required to complete a number of specific simulated scenarios. Scenarios require about one hour to complete. In general you will complete a number of basic and advanced ship maneuvers aboard the container vessel Venture.
