PARTICIPATION AND ATTENDANCE-30%

There is nothing that we will do in class that is not important to your overall success in Triad E; therefore, attendance is imperative. Missing class will affect your grade, as not being prepared or not participating in a meaningful way.

​

Students are expected to contribute to class discussions and to compose thoughtful short assignments. To encourage attendance, I will take attendance each time we meet. In addition, individual and group exercises will be assigned each class meeting through which I will evaluate your performance and engagement. Simply being present in class will not earn you full points for the day. I will take into account participation, preparedness, and promptness when assigning daily participation grades.

​

 In addition, any disruptive behavior or use of electronic devices (including any use of laptops, cell phones and/or portable devices) will be noted, resulting in a deduction of daily participation points. I reserve the right to award daily or average points to students who continually surpass classroom expectations. I also reserve the right to deduct daily or average points from students who consistently lack engagement or disregard classroom rules. You are allotted three excused absences throughout the duration of the semester. Absences that exceed this number will negatively impact your grade.
