the course. If you must be absent from class, you MUST make arrangements
with someone to take notes for you. |

means being in class when your name is called for roll. Two tardies
equal an absence.If you are late for class, please let me know,
after class, that you were present for the class session; otherwise,
I will consider you absent. If you must leave class before it is
over, be sure to let me know before class begins.Oherwise, you will
be counted absent for that class. |

you are on time for every class session, and if your grade for the
course falls between two letter grades, you will receive the higher
grade. |
| DUE DATES: All assignments must be handed in during class
on the date they are due, so that I can return them at the next
class session. Late assignments will receive a "credit"
grade and will not be averaged into your final grade. |
