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. As you can see by the section on grade assignment (above), you will earn one point for every week of perfect attendance. You attend ten weeks and you receive a very positive 10% of your grade. You must be in attendance for your scheduled test dates. You must be in attendance for your scheduled group presentation dates.
