Attendance Policy

1. Attendance is expected and will be recorded. Arriving late or leaving early MAY result in you being counted absent. Over the credit number of hours for the course in absences is too many. You are required to sign the sign-in sheet each class period. Failure to do so will mean you are counted absent. Attendance records are required by the administration. Points are not given in this course for attending. If a student misses over two weeks worth of class meetings you may be withdrawn from the course by me, the instructor.
2. See the individual class syllabi for it's makup policy.  
   
   If a class has fewer than five exams, then there will be no Makeup exam without a valid reason and ***** NO PHONE CALL (or e-mail) on or before the exam date = NO MAKEUP EXAM.*****  If a makeup exam is given, you will need to make arrangements for a time that is acceptable to both of us for making up any exams. There will only be ONE Makeup exam possible for each student each semester.  If you miss more than one exam, the others will have zeros recorded for the score.  
   
   Makeup exams will NOT be returned to the student.  You may see these exams in the office.

   Second Makeup Exam will be reduced by 50%.
