ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Progress in this class will depend on regular study of information learned in class as well as through outside preparation. Regular attendance is
expected. Any student's absence from class or lack of appropriate effort may become a burden to other students. Attendance and appropriate
cooperation are expected.
Special Consideration: Since this class is a preparation for the teaching profession, we will adopt a policy similar to that
of a public school. As a teacher you will have a fixed number of sick and/or personal days after which any absence will result in a
loss of pay. In this class you may miss one class meeting without grade penalty. Each absence after that will result in a 5-point
penalty in your grade.
Absence from more than 25% of classes (4.5 in this class) will result automatically in a grade of F. See college catalog for complete policy.
Work is due at specified times. Late work will not be accepted.
