- Class Attendance Policy from syllabus: "You
are expected to come to all lecture and lab classes and be in your seat a
few minutes early, participate, and stay the entire class time. Unexcused
lateness or absences of either lecture or lab will lead to a 1% reduction in
your final course grade for each absence or lateness.
No students have earned
an A in this course who have had more than two
unexcused
absences. Athletes are excused only
for Varsity Games (and work is expected to be made up within one week). If
you are late, you will be marked absent. Absences are excused only in cases
of extreme sickness, death in your immediate family, or other extreme
documented circumstances. In such circumstances, notify the CALS Deans
office (Rose Laba, rlaba@uvm.edu,

Leonard, and your lab TA within 24 hours of missing class."
