Unless attendance becomes an issue, we will not be taking attendance during Monday/Wednesday lectures; however, there will be a daily quiz that can only be submitted if you attend (see explanation of Lecture Participation/Question of the Day above). If attendance for the course is poor, we will consider taking regular attendance. If you do not attend discussion sections on Friday, you will miss out on earning points for discussion activities. We want everyone to feel comfortable making decisions about attending class that is best for themselves and others. If you do miss a Monday or Wednesday class, we will post recordings of the lectures in Canvas for you to watch on your own time. If you do have to miss class, please contact your TA so we can help you get caught up. For those with excused absences we can provide alternative activities to make up for Friday discussion activities. If you are not sure if your absence is excused, please do not hesitate to ask us. Please contact us if you worry that you are falling behind so that we can help! There will be no make-up assignments without appropriate verification according to S.R.5.2.4.2 and/or a discussion with your TA or Professor.

Late assignments will be accepted only in the event of documented excused absences as defined by University Senate Rules 5.2.4.2. Problems associated with computer problems, printer problems, parking, traffic, library services, over-sleeping, procrastination or forgetfulness are not acceptable excuses for late submission of assignments. It is your responsibility to make sure that you access and submit assignments on time. Note: Once the deadline for submission has passed, these assignments will no longer be accessible on Canvas. Make-up labs or assignments must be submitted within one week of the student’s return to class following an excused absence . That being said: Please contact us even if you do not think that your “absence” will be excused so that we can work with you. Excused “Absences”: Students need to notify the professor of absences prior to class when possible, or within one week following the period of excused absence. Senate Rules 5.2.5.2.1 defines the following as acceptable reasons for excused absences: (a) significant illness, (b) death of a family member, (c) trips for members of student organizations sponsored by an educational unit, trips for University classes, and trips for participation in intercollegiate athletic events, (d) major religious holidays, (e) interviews for graduate/professional school or full-time employment post- graduation, and (f) other circumstances found to fit “reasonable cause for nonattendance” by the instructor of record. Students should notify the professor of absences prior to class when possible.
