Late work will not be accepted. After missing the fourth instructional hour of a class, students may have points or a percentage deducted from their final grade for further absences. The specific number of points or percentage will be left to the instructor's discretion.
Students are to be ready to begin classes at the scheduled start of the classes.
Three tardies or early exits may be counted as one absence. Late homework papers will not be accepted unless extenuating circumstances exist. Students are expected and encouraged to spend two to three hours outside of class for every contact hour in class. Therefore, instructors will manage the classroom environment to promote a positive learning experience for all students. Various idea prompting methods, such as response to visual arts, music, readings as well as guided free writings are used in class.
