ATTENDANCE: Attendance will be taken each class. Any student who is absent 3 times or less will have their lowest test grade dropped. This is not a right, it is a privilege. If you do not meet the attendance requirement, you will not be eligible to drop your lowest grade.
*If you MUST be absent, I expect an email PRIOR to the beginning of class.*
CLASS PARTICIPATION: Please come to each class prepared with your textbook, notes, worksheets and calculator. Preparedness is essential to participation. Please be prepared to participate in class at all times. Your grade will reflect your preparedness and participation.
LATENESS: Please arrive to class on time and be ready to learn. Lateness is a distraction to the class as a whole. Habitual lateness will have serious consequences. Please be aware that: 3 times late = 1 time absent (this could have a direct impact on your ability to drop your lowest test grade).
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS: Homework will be assigned at every class session. Be prepared to hand in your work for a grade at any time. This may or may not be announced in advance.
TESTS: Tests will be scheduled with a reasonable amount of notice. Therefore, there will be no make-ups allowed except in extreme cases (family emergency, swine flu, etc.)

COURSE WITHDRAWAL: Any student may withdraw from this course with a grade of W at any time until Saturday, November 5, 2011. After then, a student who does not complete the course will receive a grade of F. The grades of WP, WF, and I are awarded only in exceptional circumstances beyond the student’s control. This is in full compliance with WCC policy.
