be present. Class discussions and group
activities that take place during class cannot be made up. If you do miss a class, it is your
responsibility to notify the instructor in advance, to contact class members to
find out what occurred in that class and to make up that work, and then to
check with your instructor for any additional assignments. For computer work, it is your responsibility
to check for compatibility if you wish to use computers other than those
provided in the lab. If you have any
questions, contact your instructor. No
make-up exams will be given.
