ATTENDANCE POLICY

There is a 1% point deduction for being late.  If you cannot get to class before the scheduled start time DO NOT COME! If you must leave during class time, be considerate! Unannounced quizzes will be given, and added to your final grade.  All absences, except those having to do with pre-approved SOSU functions, will be considered unexcused.

Make-up exams will be given in extenuating circumstances only, and only with prior permission. Credit will not be given for assignments that are turned in after the due date.  There will be no make-up quizzes.  In the event of an absence, the student is responsible for scheduling a makeup lesson on all material covered in class.  Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class.  Make-up quizzes will not be given.
