While attendance does not specifically enter the grading process, studies indicate that grades in economics courses are strongly related to class attendance. Because economics is cumulative and theoretical in nature, it becomes difficult to comprehend the material if classes are skipped. Class attendance will normally be taken so that the instructor has some feel for the academic responsibility and diligence of the student. If you have a medical or other emergency and cannot take an exam, you have to obtain a permission to miss or reschedule the test or homework requirement by email, phone or in person before the start of the exam. There is no assurance that such permission will be granted.
Requests based on medical reasons have to be supported by a doctor's note.
University standards of academic responsibility, as found in the catalog will be followed. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated.
