Course Grading

Because this is an intensive seven-week course, attendance is crucial in order to pass the course satisfactorily. More than one absence may be cause for lowering your grade; three absences may result in failing the course. If there is an emergency and you must miss class, please contact me by e-mail at "fidallas@svsu.edu" or telephone at 964.4627 before the class meets stating the nature of your emergency. You are responsible for making up any missed work except for quizzes, which will not be rescheduled.
