IV. Absence Policy:

One absence will be allowed. Any additional absences will normally result in the loss of Class Participation Points and may eventually result in the student being dropped from the course. Do not, however, assume that absences will automatically result in a withdrawal. Excessive absences may simply result in a letter grade "F" at the end of the course.

The final letter grade in the Course will be based upon the percentage of total available points received, as follows:

A - 90-100%

F - 0-59%

VI. Unprepared Announcements:

Students will be allowed one announcement of "unprepared" or non-response to questions during the course. Additional "unprepared" announcements or non-responses will result in the loss of class participation points. A non-response is a failure to respond to a question, or a response that indicates that the student is poorly prepared for the class.
