Students are required to attend all classes. Missing more than one class (10 percent
of class time) in a term is considered serious. Penalties for absences are left to the discretion
of individual instructors. Students are held accountable for all assignments in
each course, whether or not the assignments were announced during an absence. If,
in the judgment of the instructor, absences affect academic performance, the instructor
may assign additional work. Student absences may also affect the final course grade.
