Attendance: |
Regular
attendance is expected because it is through regular attendance that you will
hear and learn from the experience of your instructor as well as from the
input (questions, answers, discussions, concerns) of others of the members of
your class. You may also “attend”
classes (when you are not physically able to be present in class) by communicating
with members of your assigned group and finding out from them what class
materials you have missed and/or other aspects of what went on in class that
you should know about. You can also
“attend” by keeping in touch with your instructor through the use of
e-mail. Let your instructor and
members of your group know that you might be late, or that you’re too ill to
come to class, or that you’ve missed an assignment and are trying your best
to complete it, etc. You must be in
attendance for your scheduled test dates.
You must be in attendance for your scheduled group presentation dates. |
|
Make-up work: |
It is the
individual student’s responsibility to find out from one of his
classmates and/or group members what materials he/she might have missed as
the result of having missed a class session.
Call your classmates; e-mail them; keep up with them; be responsible
for getting the information that you need in order to demonstrate competence
in this course.. |
