If so they will be announced in class. Attendance It is only fair to state that lack of attendance will place a student at a significant disadvantage during the testing periods since lectures will cover a significant amount of content that is not covered in assigned readings. The attendance sheet will be passed around at the beginning of the class period. If you arrive late to class, FIND the attendance sheet at the end of class and sign it. It is your responsibility to make sure that your attendance is recorded the day of class, and if for any reason it is not, you will be counted as absent.
Students have three unexcused absences.
After that, each unexcused absence will cost 4 points from the next test. Tests Your grade will be based on three non-cumulative tests counting equally toward the final grade. Tests will be given on September 24, November 5 and December 10. Make up tests will be given on a date chosen by the professor and only held once. You MUST have documentation of illness or family crisis regardless of age and social status etc.
