Just a reminder that, as per Policy, you are responsible for attending all meetings. Office hours are the only optional meetings.
As a refresher:
every day I manually enter your attendance
every day you can earn four points (one per class hour)
you earn four points during the morning meeting
you are expected to be on camera during meetings
after failure to submit multiple progress emails, points are subtracted
failure to attend scheduled course meetings also deducts points
my deductions are cumulative and stacking - the more you often you miss a meeting or progress email, the more severe the daily deduction
these points add up for your overall attendance record
too few attendance points can affect graduation and/or funding
loss of forty percent of attendance points results in failure of the current course
forty percent of a one week course is only two classes (eight points)
I do not remove points for pre-excused absences
I do not remove points for illness-related absences
I ask for an email with your absence and the reason stated in writing before or during the class
I try to be flexible so please let me know how I can support you
I am bound by the rules of the college, as are you
attendance is also digitally tracked via your activity on ECampus in accordance with PTIB compliance
some lab courses include attendance or participation as part of the academic result as well
please do not show up in another course's allotted time to make up your points as this is disruptive
