Attendance

It is expected that students will attend each class session, and come fully prepared to discuss the assigned texts.  Attendance will be taken every class session, and will count towards your participation grade.  You are expected to attend all class sessions on time.  Attendance will be tracked; if you are unable to attend class, you need to notify the instructor ahead of time. Unexcused absences will affect your final grade, as will more than two excused absences.  After three unexcused absences, a ½ letter grade will be deducted for each absence thereafter.  All late work not approved by the instructor in advance will be deducted ½ letter grade per day past the deadline.
