I won’t take official attendance and you can decide if you need to miss class within reason. You all are adults and I do not wish to be the arbiter of valid reasons.  That being said, attendance is an important part of doing well in this class and in supporting the learning of other students in the class. If you are excessively absent, it will affect your grade and your ability to pass the class.  If you are gone for any reason, it is your responsibility to get notes from another student and to find out what we did that day. If something dire is happening in your life that affects your class attendance– such as a sudden death, extended illness, personal trauma, ongoing mental or physical health issues, please let me know as soon as possible so I can help you find resources and make a plan of action to keep up with the course.

 

 If you are in class, I expect you to come on time and stay for the entire period. If lateness becomes an issue, I’ll implement a late policy.
