However, please do inform the instructor of any special circumstances, so that he or she will understand what is going on. Don't just disappear. Course records show a very strong correlation between regular attendance and success in this course. You are expected to attend the first day of class, whether or not you are enrolled, and every day thereafter. You are responsible for everything said in class.
Punctuality is appreciated and recommended.
However, coming late is better than not coming at all. The class period lasts for one hour and twenty minutes. Class will be dismissed exactly 10 minutes before the start of the next period, according to UH policy. Leaving early is not recommended. The course grade will be based on the total of the quiz scores, after the appropriate number of low scores have been dropped.
