ATTENDANCE:
Attendance is critical to teaching and learning. You will fall behind in acquiring course content and
skills if you do not attend class regularly. I realize situations may develop which are beyond your
control and which may interfere with your attendance. Therefore I may drop students who are
absent for two consecutive days, but I am required to drop any student who accumulates
unexcused absences in excess of 12% of the total class hours. If you decide to withdraw from this
class, do it officially. If you withdraw after the last possible date to receive a "W," you will
receive an appropriate grade for the course.

limits on content.
