The remaining 100 points are for general class attendance, appropriate participation, required good conduct, and timeliness regarding attendance and course assignments. Thus there are 600 points possible. Below 60 is an E, a failing grade. Below 360 is an E, a failing grade. Please consult your registration materials, or the calendar for the college, for specific dates.
Statistics clearly show that the better the attendance, the better the grade, in most instances.
Three or more absences are considered excessive in this class. Generally it is recommended that you spend about 7 to 10 hours per week studying outside of class for this course. You may record my lectures on tape, but you must also take notes if doing so. Supplies should include sufficient, preferably in a college-ruled bound notebook, and a writing instrument, usually an ink pen, all needed for note taking. Please talk to me regarding any personal or family emergencies.
