A tentative calendar/schedule will be provided with this greensheet; however, there will be times when the schedule will need to be adjusted.

Attendance is mandatory and attendance will be taken.

• You are allowed 3 absences before it affects your class participation grade.
• The 4th absence drops your "Class Participation/Attendance/Daily Effort" grade a full letter.
• Each additional absence drops your "Class Participation/Attendance/Daily Effort" grade a letter.
• A lateness is worth a half absence.
• Please note that this is significant portion of your over all grade.
• If you miss 4 classes consecutively you will either fail or be dropped from the class.
