Following the University's attendance policy, you may miss up to 3 classes without penalty. If you miss an exam, you may make it up at the end of the semester only if you present a valid written excuse. The only acceptable documents are medical excuses on appropriate stationary, police reports of incidents in which you were personally involved, and funeral notices for immediate family members. If you need to reschedule an exam because it conflicts with a university-sanctioned event, you must present a letter to me in advance from the faculty momber or administrator responsible for the event. We at West Chester University comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 by making accommodations for persons with disabilities.
Sufficient notice is needed in order to make the accommodations possible.
There will be three exams. Each will provide one third of your grade. Regular attendance and meaningful class participation will improve the final grade in all borderline cases.
