Attendance will be taken daily. Students may be excused from class because of poor health, a death in the family, an official university activity, or for equally significant reasons. More that two unexcused absences will result in the student failing the class. Students are expected to complete their work according to the specified schedule. Unexcused late work will be penalized.
