Recording Classroom Activities

Attendance

You are expected to faithfully attend this class. After three absences (excused or not), I will subtract 1/3 a letter grade from your final grade for each absence over three. Moreover, you are further expected to be on time and not disrupt the class by getting up to go the bathroom in the middle of class.  Each time you are late or leave in the middle of class will be counted as 1/3 an absence.

Late Work

Penalties of a letter grade will accrue every 24 hours past the due date for 72 hours. At that time, the grade will automatically convert to an F.
