Attendance:

Attendance and participation in both class and lab is required for students to be successful in this course. If an in-class assignment or quiz is missed, you will receive a zero grade for that quiz.

Attendance is taken randomly in both lab and lecture. Students who participate when present and are absent 2 times or less in the quarter AND who are not late more than 2 times (combined lab/lecture), can earn up to 25 points at the end of the quarter. No bonus points are given to students who do not meet all these criteria. Students who are absent more than 5 times may be dropped from the course.

In the spirit of community and collegiality, students are encouraged to work together in lab, form study groups and challenge each other. However, written assessments such as quizzes or exams, are considered to be the individual and independent work of the student alone.

Students who cheat on exams, quizzes or any other means of evaluation will receive an F in the course. Names of students found cheating will be forwarded to the appropriate college authorities.
