Dropping a Class:

Drop all classes using or Power. See Spring Schedule, p. 8. y April 7.. For withdrawal after this date, see Spring Schedule, p. 12. Failure to comply with these procedures will result in a grade of F or U. .

Attendance:

Good attendance is necessary for a good performance in this class. I write examinations in such a way as to reward students who have been diligent in their class attendance. Despite this, of late, some students seem to want to try to see if they can cut class and still pass the course. This has lead to an unusually high number of D's and F's among these students. While I discourage missing any classes, 3 cuts seems a reasonable number to accept without penalty. Please try and arrange appointments for a time other than class meeting. In the hope of trying to dissuade students from suicidal, I will deduct 20 points for each unexcused absence more than three. This is the equivalent to receiving a 0 on a quiz and is the equivalent to approximately a half-a-grade deduction in your final grade. Leaving class is rude. If for some reason you must leave class early, please have the courtesy to inform me at the beginnng of the period.
