Attendance: Regular class attendance is an essential component of any course and you are expected to attend all class sessions. Therefore, each absence (for any reason) in excess of four absences will result in a one step decrease in your term grade. Moreover, any student absent (for any reason) from more than eight class meetings will be dropped from the course with a grade of F.
 
Accommodations: Students with disabilities who need academic accommodations should contact Ms. Gina Parris, ADA Coordinator, Office of Disability Services, in a timely manner prior to contacting me during my office hours.
