Anything else is unapproved and unexcused. Remember, though, to notify me ahead of time to make an approved absence excused. If you miss twenty or more days of class no matter what the reason you will not pass. In the unfortunate event that something compels you to miss that many class meetings, you should drop the course and plan to take it at another time. Twenty is slightly over one third of the class meetings.
Work is due on the date specified.
You may turn in late work only if you had an excused absence on the specified date. In this case, late work is due within one week of your return to class. Instructor Absences Please note that all your work has been laid out for you for the entire semester. My illness, emergency, or attendance at a professional conference does NOT remove your obligation to keep up. It will be much easier for our class, and much better for your learning, if you stay up with your assignments whether I am present to remind you or not.
