You are expected to be in attendance for every session of class. A roll sheet will be passed around and you are responsible for signing it every day. YOU CAN BE DROPPED FOR NONATTENDANCE AFTER THE FOURTH (4TH) ABSENCE. The only excused absences in the Student Handbook are for school related functions, a death in the family, or jury duty. Medical absences are NOT excused according to the student handbook – your Final Exam will count as your make-up test (do not ask to make up the test).
Please make every effort possible to be on time for class, and do not plan to leave class early – excessive tardiness will be counted as a class disruption, and will be treated accordingly (see: Class Disturbances). I reserve the right to initiate a tardy policy for individual students.
If you wish to drop the class at any time, it is your responsibility to take the necessary actions. Any student wishing to drop this class after Oct 9th , must have my signature on the drop form and will receive a grade of Y if they are failing (below 60%). The instructor reserves the right not to drop a student after Dec 4th. I will NOT allow anyone to drop during Final’s week.
