Attendance is mandatory. If you are absent more than three times, one letter
grade will be deducted from your final grade for each additional absence. Five or
more absences result in failure of the course. If you fail to bring the text being
discussed in class on any given day, you will be counted as absent.
Arriving late and leaving early will also lower your grade. Three late arrivals
and/or early departures will count as one absence.
