Completing In-Class Activities (Quizzes) if You Miss a Lecture
Completing the Activity: You may complete the in-class quiz at any time and with as many attempts as you wish to support your learning. Feel free to discuss questions with classmates or instructors.
Receiving Participation Credit: To receive participation credit for the quiz, you must be present in class unless you have an excused absence approved by the Dean of Students.
Attending Class via Zoom
This class is held exclusively in person, except when the instructor must work remotely on a temporary basis. Students with an approved extended absence from the Dean of Students are encouraged to contact the instructor in advance to arrange remote attendance via Zoom. Please note that our policy only permits remote attendance for students with an excused absence, which typically requires prior documentation. With approximately 150 students in class, it is logistically unfeasible to provide a Zoom link for every student who unexpectedly misses class.
Verified Absences Steps
No Need to Email Your Instructor Initially: There is no need to send an email to your instructor if you plan to miss class.
Contact the Dean of Students: All verified absences must be processed through the Dean of Students. Once your absence is verified, both you and your instructor will receive an email notification.
Contact your instructor: After your absence is verified, please email your instructor to discuss possible extensions on your assignments. Your instructor will grant you participation credit for the duration of your approved absence, regardless of whether you complete the in-class activities.
Follow up: A few days after your absence ends, check your participation credit spreadsheet to ensure you have received credit for the excused missed lectures.
