assignment. UVM lecture
calendar site.
- Class Attendance Policy from syllabus: "Unexcused absences from lecture or lab result in 1% reduction of your
final course grade for each unexcused absence. Attendance
will be
taken each lecture and lab. If you are late, you will be
marked absent. This is not
a class to cut and get notes from someone else. This
is a class where you must come to lecture and lab a few minutes early
every time
and be ready to participate for the entire lecture or
lab. Athletes are excused only for Varsity Games
(and work
is expected to be made up within one week). No
students have earned an A in this course who have had more than two
unexcused
absences. If you can not make a class, you must notify your
instructor before the class. Notification after the class
will
result in a zero for that class and assignment. If you miss a
speaking assignment without notifying your instructor before the class
or if you miss a speaking assignment because you
were not prepared, you will earn a zero for that
assignment.
Only
extreme legitimate prior-notification absences (death in the family,
serious illness, or accident) will be made up. For an excuse
to
be legitimate you must contact your college's Deans office (for CALS
Deans Office Rose Laba,
656-0289, rlaba@uvm.edu)
and they
will notify Dr. Leonard. This should be a very rare
occurrence. The
TAs and Dr.
Leonard need to hear from the Deans Office for an excuse to be
legitimate." Please sign the form.
- Post to
BlackBoard once
a week (need at least 14 postings by the last day of classes).
- Visit with your
academic advisor twice this semester and have them sign the
Advisor Meeting Form.
