Attendance Policy

Due to the sequential nature of our coursework, students are required to attend and participate in every class. As a team, we have decided that students cannot miss more than a total of 20% of the course. For this course that is two (2) class meetings. If you miss more than two class meetings, you will be unable to earn a passing grade in the class.  If you surpass that amount, you will need to withdraw from the course. Additionally, remote classes are to be treated the same as in person classes. It is expected that students will be in attendance, with cameras on during class. Students should not be driving or running errands during class time.  Students who keep their cameras off during class will be counted as absent thus students should do their best to keep cameras on pls!

Participation

Students in this course are expected to enter the course at least three times a week to check announcements and email, study the learning materials, complete assignments, and work on projects. For each credit hour a student should expect to spend at least 3 hours each week during a 10-week course. You can expect to spend at least 9 – 12 hours per week on this 3-credit course.

It is important to read through everything carefully. Read, and then read again! If something is still unclear, please ask your classmates in the Course Lobby or send the instructor an email. I also highly recommend uploading a picture or avatar to your profile.  This will help create a sense of place and community in our virtual classroom!
