If the student believes an absence is excused, due to such factors as illness or emergency, the student may receive an excused absence from the instructor by presenting a written excuse to the instructor. The instructor will determine its validity. In addition to attendance, students need to exhibit punctuality in the attendance of classes. Classes start promptly at the time indicated on the schedule. Students are responsible for all material covered in class, and in the event of absence or late arrival, it is the student s responsibility to initiate contact with the instructor.
Students are to act in a professional demeanor at all times.
Daily evaluations missed cannot be made up, however daily evaluations missed as a result of an unexcused absence will count as a grade of 40 which is the minimum grade for any daily evaluation. Daily evaluations will be passed back after being graded, however, if a student is absent, the instructor will batch evaluations. It is the responsibility of the student to approach the instructor to receive the evaluation. Evaluations not picked up after the final exam will be disposed of. More information will be distributed about the project and presentations as the course progresses.
