PARTICIPATION AND ATTENDENCE POLICY

Student’s success in the class depends on their willingness to put effort into their work. Students are expected to participate in all large and small group activities, exercises and discussions. Participation will help you understand the subject matter and will be considered when determining your final grade.

• Participation involves:
  • Paying attention, take notes, ask question and take responsibility for your own learning.
  • Working with others in group activities: A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Don’t drag your team down by refusing to get involved.
  • Attending class regularly.If you aren’t here, you can’t learn. Throughout the course, you are encouraged to bring in information and examples that relate to the subject matter and which can be shared with the class.
• Assignments/Submissions for the entire term are outlined on the Course Outline provided the first day of class. It is your responsibility to ensure you understand the assignments and turn them in on time. If you do not understand an assignment, don’t wait till the last minute to ask questions!!
  • Late work is not accepted.Each lesson relates to the current lecture topic so keeping up with the work is essential to your success in this course. Absence is not an excuse for failing to complete assignments on time.
  • At times, assignments may be changed from what appears on you assignment sheet. If you miss a class, it is your responsibilityto get the assignment and handouts from a fellow student.
  Note: Reading assignments are outlined on your course outline. They should be read before you come to class in order to get the maximum benefit from the information.
