Attendance

Attendance is an important part of MC102. Students who do poorly or fail the course are usually those who have bad attendance records. To be successful in MC102, you should
  • attend class

  • be on time

  • be ready to participate (by reading the lecture notes or material assigned by the lab instructor)


You are expected to attend all lectures and labs. Work missed in labs cannot be made up. Two or three of the lowest lab grades will be dropped at the end of the semester.

Attendance policies at the University are controlled by the professor of a course -- not a doctor, not the president of the University, and certainly not an employee of the athletic department. In MC102 there are no excused absenses -- for any reason.

When a student misses four lectures or eight lab sessions, instructors will stop grading their work. (Lab instructors may revise this policy to allow fewer absences if they wish.)

A student is counted as absent for the lecture if he or she arrives after the news quiz is given; a student who takes the news quiz and leaves is also counted as absent.
