Class Attendance:

Attendance for this class is mandatory. In most classes attendance is an important element of success in the class, especially when the students are presenting their work to their classmates as individuals or as part of a group. It is unacceptable to not share in the work.
Each Student will be allowed Three (3) Unexcused Absence.

After this the following Penalties will Apply.
First Absence 10 Points off Final Grade
Second Absence 10 Point + 20 Points = 30 Points off Final Grade
Third Absence 10 Point +20 Points + 30 Points = 60 Points Off Final Grade
Each additional absence reduces grade an additional 50 points or one half letter grade

Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class. All students not present will be marked absent. Students arriving after this time will be marked present but are considered late. Ten (10) points will be lost for each time a student is marked late.

Any student who, because of a disabling condition, may require some special arrangements in order to meet course requirements should contact the instructor as soon as possible to make necessary accommodations.
