      Class attendance: 

      All class attendance is mandatory. Punctuallity at all class meetings is highly expected. One half of your class participation grade is made up of class attendance, and each unexcused absence will cause you to forfeit the attendance credit for that day. Missing more than 30 minutes of class (either through arriving late or leaving early) will count as missing the entire class. Students arriving less than 30 minutes late will earn reduced class attendance credit for that day. Excused absences are only granted in cases of serious illness (proved with physician or medical doctor letter) or grave family emergencies, and each of these situations must be documented to our satisfaction. Any student who misses his/her group presentation due to an unexcused absence will forfeit 50% of the presentation points earned by the group. If there is a written/homework assignment to complete for class (noted on the syllabus), failure to do the assignment will result in no credit for attendance that day.
