Attendance IS mandatory. Attendance is taken five (5) minutes after class starts for both in-person and online studetns. If you arrive after that you do not get attendance points for the day. In addition, late attendance is only given for those in class or absents due to illness, accident, or another major unanticipated emergency. In a situation you are planning to miss class, you MUST email me to let me know. You will be granted partial attendance points. There is no makeup for the work you miss for the day and it is your responsability to check the recorded lecture or discuss the content of the lecture with your classmates. This follow that those students missing class will not be given ANY credit points for activities during that day
I appreciate the clear policy when it comes to attendance. Some professors aren't straight forward when it comes to leaving class early.
