Attendance Policy

The good news: Attendance doesn't figure directly into your final grade through points.

The not-so-good news: That doesn't matter. In reality, if you don't attend an upper-division course on the regular your grade will certainly suffer. In fact, if you can't attend the class ON TIME ALMOST EVERY TIME you might think about dropping. Yep, it's that serious.

I will call roll during the first weeks of class in order to learn your names. I will also do spot-check roll calls to see who's in class and who's not, on a day-in day-out basis. If you're not there much, I'll know when you come to me at the end of the semester wanting extra credit or whatnot. Enough said.

In Week Two of the semester you will decide amongst yourselves how to handle absences with respect to groupwork. We'll be discussing on Friday Sept. 10.
