  Attendance is mandatory. You must be present and answer rollcall on the first day of class or you will be dropped from this course. You are expected to attend absolutely all class meetings. If you have extenuating circumstances and you cannot make it to a class, be aware that you are still responsible for all information given in class, whether or not you are present.

 Regular attendance, which means arriving on time and staying until class is over, is both expected and appreciated.   A high level of student participation is required in this hands-on class especially as it relates to group projects.  You may miss two class meetings without affecting your grade.  However, if you miss more than four classes you will be dropped from the course. If you can’t attend class for more than 1-week, contact the instructor. Do not attend class if you are ill. 

If you miss a class, please do not call or email me.  Since you need to know what you missed you should obtain the contact information of at least two-three of your classmates so that you can get the information that you missed. Again, please do not ask me.
