Students are responsible for all materials, homework, tests, and other assignments which they miss due
to absences from classes. Partial credit only may be given for class assignments missed due to absences.
More than FOUR absences for any reason will result in failure of the course. We will be using class time for
demonstrations, practice, class assignments, and tests. Students are expected to arrive on-time to
class and to remain for the entire class. Notification is expected if an emergency situation requires you to
leave a class before the end of the class period. An attendance sheet will be passed around at the
beginning of each class for you to sign. If you are not in class when this sheet is passed around. you will be counted absent.

I always prefer that tests and exams are taken during the scheduled times. In order to take a test on a <br>day other than the scheduled test day, the student must make arrangement with the professor before <br>the regularly scheduled test and have a valid reason for missing the scheduled test. Ten (10) points can <br>be deducted from the grade unless you have a written doctor's excuse. A second makeup for the same <br>student can be a fifteen (15) point deduction.
