5. Class Rules
1. Turn off cell phones during class or put in “mute” mode, and put all cell
phones OUT OF SIGHT. Disregarding this rule will result in point deductions
from your participation grade. There will be times when I ask you to use your
cellphones for class activities.
2. Be on time to class. If you are not in class by the time your name is called
during roll call, you will be considered late. Please note that roll call will usually
occur at the beginning of class. If you are late by more than 30 minutes, you
will be marked absent for the day; however, you are welcome to attend the rest
of class. If you are late three times, it will be considered one absence. If you
leave before the class is over, you will be marked absent.
3. Each student is allowed one absence for sickness and one absence for
official school related activity per semester. In the case that you are sick, you
must submit an original note from the doctor with dates and explanation. To
be excused from class for school activities, bring an official stamped note from
the school. In accordance with school policy, you will fail the course if you
are absent five times.

6. 4. Homework, Quizzes, Midterm Exam, Final Exam
Under most circumstances, you will not be able to make up quizzes or exams so
DO NOT BE LATE OR ABSENT on those days. If an emergency case arises, you
must contact me by email right away and before the next class; otherwise, you will
receive a “0” grade for missed quizzes or exams.
No late homework or projects will be accepted.
5. Your participation grade will be determined by your enthusiasm and attitude in all
class activities throughout the semester. The final grade will depend upon your
positive demeanor in class, refraining from sleeping and using cell phones, as well
as general courtesy for the entire class.
