Absence is not an excuse for failing to hand in an essay on the day it is due. If you must be absent, make other arrangements for getting the paper in on time. Work handed in late will be penalized by a cut in the grade. You must complete the research paper and all five essays in order to pass the class. It is assumed that whenever it is possible you will be attending class.
Regular attendance is important in keeping up with class assignments and computer lab work.
Attendance will be recorded at the beginning of class each day and will be taken into account when final grades are tabulated. Huntington College requires automatic failure for students who are absent for one-third of the class sessions. Since this course includes computer lab time, you need to be especially careful that you are not absent on lab days. You are responsible for any work you miss due to absence. It is your responsibility to contact another student to find out what you missed.
