The instructor takes attendance each class period and records it in Blackboard. This is both for your information and the instructor’s. This course is a rigorous course and each class session builds on what was learned in the previous session so attendance is extremely important. Students will be responsible for all material covered in the class (including syllabus changes) whether or not they are present. LATE and MAKE-UP WORK All assignments are due as announced. No late assignments will be accepted and no make-up exams will be given. Personal emergencies will be handled on an individual basis. If absent for a verifiable emergency, you must contact the instructor before the next class meeting.
