Attendance Attendance is required. Excessive absences will affect your grade negatively. If you must be absent, please notify me before the absence. Keep in mind that much of our learning takes place in group work for which there is no substitute. The students who fail this course are those who don't come to class or fail to turn assignments and take tests.
Homework assignments count even more.
This state of affairs will almost guarantee that you will receive a 'B' even if the rest of your work is of 'A' quality. I do not accept late assignments unless I have been contacted before the due date and there are real reasons for giving you extra time. Given the tight schedule, it is not to your advantage to be out of touch as a number of assignments build on each other. Stay in touch with what we are doing, and have someone to call if you have to miss class.
