ATTENDANCE POLICY

• Because 312 meets only once a week attendance
  becomes more important than usual to the
  instructional process.
• One absence is the same as missing three sessions
  (a full week) of a traditional Monday-Wednesday-Fr
  iday class.
• Further, your absence means that you are not
  available to your classmates for those group
  activities in which your participation is
  necessary.

11
ATTENDANCE POLICY

• Four absences (excused or not) are equivalent to
  missing more than one-fifth of the course contact
  hours, and you may be required to take a "W"
  grade in the course.
• Therefore, your attendance is expected at each
  class session. Your final grade is dependent upon
  class attendance. Unexcused absences will result
  in a lower final grade.

12
ATTENDANCE POLICY

• Absences will be considered excused only when
  they meet the criteria set forth in the
  University Senate Rule on absences and the
  Student Rights And Responsibilities handbook.
• Make-up examinations and exercises will only be
  considered as a result of excused absences.
• Because it is a group activity, there is no
  make-up possibility for the Final Project.

13
ATTENDANCE POLICY

• When possible, let me know in advance if you must
  miss a class and we can make arrangements for
  make-ups.

14
FINAL EXAMS SCHEDULED FOR THE SAME TIME

• A student for whom two examinations have been
  scheduled for the same time shall be entitled to
  have the examination for the class with the
  higher catalog number rescheduled. In case both
  classes have the same number, the one whose
  departmental prefix is alphabetically first will
  be rescheduled.

15
FINAL EXAMS SCHEDULED FOR THE SAME TIME

• This rescheduling must be requested of the
  appropriate instructor in writing at least two
  weeks prior to the scheduled examination.
