    Attendance/ Tardiness

     

     
    • I believe on being on time and being in class every day.  Students will have a hard time if they are not in class.  Student assignments are based on what we talk about in class lecture.  Therefore it is very important that students be in class every day.

       

    Classroom Rules and Procedures
