CHEMISTRY 151
Attendance Policy
- Be Here.
- Your presence at all class meetings is expected. Absences, tardiness, and
early exits will be noted and recorded, and may affect your grade in borderline
situations. Miramar College policy allows me to treat late arrivals and early
departures as unexcused absences.
- Excused Absence.
- Absences are "excused" by permission of your instructor only. You are
responsible for everything that I cover during any class you miss, without
exception. If you don't notify me of your absence according to the following
guidelines, your absence will be unexcused. (Having been excused from lab
does not guarantee that a make-up opportunity will be granted. There are no
make-ups for quizzes.)
- Professional or personal reasons, including non-emergency illness: You
must notify me before the start of class on the day of the class you will
miss. See below for a list of acceptable ways to notify me.
- Emergency: Call me or arrange for a friend or family member to call
me as soon as possible, but no later than the start of class on the day
of the class following the class you miss.
- Acceptable Notice In order of preference:
- a written note given directly to me;
- a written note left at my faculty mailbox (The note must be signed
and dated by a Miramar College employee.);
- E-mail;
- a telephone call or voice mail message to me at 858-546-6175.
- Drops by Professor.
- Miramar College policy allows me to drop any student with six total hours
of unexcused absences (6% of class time), and requires me to drop any student
with 12 total hours of unexcused absences (12% of class time). If you just
stop showing up, don't count on me to drop you.
- Drops by Student.
- Please note that you will receive a grade if you remain on the course roster
after the withdrawal deadline March 24, even if you have decided to drop the
course. A grade of W may be assigned to students who withdraw after February
4 and until March 24. After March 24, a grade of A, B, C, D, or F must be
assigned.
