2.13 Attendance, illness, and absences

  • Attendance is important, however, the health and well-being of our community is more important.
  • Do not attend a face-to-face class if you are ill or suspect illness.
    • Contact the instructor to inform him of your circumstances and to coordinate assistance.

  • Recognizing its importance, attendance and homework participation may be encouraged through the use of announced or un-announced quizzes.
  • For un-announced quizzes in online lectures, the students will be informed during the lecture and will be directed to the e-learning system to complete the quiz in the allocated time
    • There will be no make-up quizzes under any circumstances.
  • The grading policy (one dropped homework/quiz) is designed to account for unexpected circumstances.

  • Classroom Etiquette: – Laptop and cell phone use during lecture causes distraction in your fellow students and in the instructor. Please disable these and all similar devices.
  • Online Learning Etiquette – Use appropriate discretion when participating in all online learning activities. Limit multitasking, enable your video if technological limitations do not prevent it. It is generally appropriate to disable your microphone when not actively speaking.
