Attendance policy:
Attendance is mandatory. Only three unexcused absences are allowed, and  in this case it is your responsibility
to obtain information on any classroom activity that you may have missed. A fourth absence will result in the
 lowering of your grade (for example from an A- to a B+). A fifth absence will further lower your grade
(so an A- would become a B).If you have more than five unexcused absences you will fail the course.
Excused absences include illness (a doctor's note is needed) or a serious personal crisis (a letter from the Dean of
 students is required). Travel time is not an excused absence. Sporting events are not excused absences.

Missing an exam or test creates a very difficult situation for all parties involved. As such make_ups for missed
tests will be administered under extreme circumstances. The attendance policy applies to a missed test. A missed
test will be considered an unexcused absence. Without a doctor's note, a letter from the Dean of Students is required.


* Leaving the room during class is not recommended and will be considered as absent(unless an emergency).

* Academic dishonesty (of any form) is NOT appreciated and (ALL the parties involved) will face severe consequences.

* Switch off your cell phones.
