ATTENDANCE: Attendance will be taken each class. Any student who is absent at most 3 times will have their lowest test grade dropped. This does not include the Mandatory Final Exam.
CLASS PARTICIPATION: Please come to each class prepared with your textbook, notebook, 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. Please be aware that: 3 times late = 1 time absent.
Example: Student X is absent once but late 7 times. The 7 lates = absences. Therefore, Student X has a total of absences which is over the 3 absence limit and does not get his/her lowest test grade dropped.
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.
