attendance

Attendance & general participation

Attendance is mandatory. Unexecused absences accrue a loss of points & a penalty of 5% off the total grade (deductions stop accruing at a C).

You have 3 excused absences (one week's worth) with no 5% penalty Excused means we made prior arrangement or you were sick, communicated this to me, and I acknowledge it.

For each class period, I expect you to get the full 3 points/day by being present and by participating.

Deficiencies in attendance may be scored thus:

• Remote presence only (for inperson class): 66% for day, no other penalty.

• Present in class, but slacking (late, inattentive): 66% for day, no other penalty.

• Absent, unexcused, but you talk to me about it; very late; habitually late or unattentive: 33% for day, possible 5% off total grade.

• No show, no email/IRC: 0% for day and 5% off total grade.

• laptops away, lids down (Shirky) (archive)
