Attendance

The instructor will not take attendance; however, students are expected to attend each class.  If a student wishes to make up a test because of illness or a personal emergency, the student must receive approval from the instructor before the regularly scheduled test.

 

Late Policy

For each day that an assignment is late, 10% will be deducted from that assignment’s grade.  Assignments will not be accepted that are more than 5 days late.  Exceptions will be made in case of illness or a personal emergency at the instructor’s discretion, provided that the student contacts the instructor before the assignment’s due date.
