allowed only ONE (1) absence per quarter. For each absence over ONE, the final grade will be lowered by five (5)
percent. You will earn an F for THREE (3) absences. Punctual arrival to class is essential; excessive tardies (3) will count

quality and quantity of student participation; this includes participation in large and small group class activities. Also
Included in this portion of the grade is preparation for class: materials (books, etc.) are brought to class, assignments are
complete and corrected before class begins. If students are absent, they are encouraged to call or email a classmate to find
out what they missed in class (Notes, handouts, etc.) so as not to fall behind.
