TESTS: There will be no makeup tests. At the end of the quarter, the lowest test grade will be dropped and the remaining test grades averaged. Projects may be assigned in lieu of tests at the discretion of the instructor.

ATTENDANCE: Attendance is extremely important. If a student is not in class, he or she misses out on a learning experience. Attendance also reflects a student's attitude toward learning, and habits developed in school are carried over to the workplace. Students must be in the classroom ready to begin when the bell rings.

PARTICIPATION: Be prepared by reading assigned material before class and be ready to participate in classroom discussions.

TIMELINESS: Timeliness is critical in the business world. In order to stress this reality, there will be consequences for assignments which are turned in after the due date. Homework/lab assignments must be turned in on the day they are due or they will be counted as late. For each day a homework/lab assignment is turned in late, 10% will be deducted from the student's grade. The latest a homework/lab assignment can be accepted is five school days past the assignment due date. If a homework/lab assignment is turned in past this five day cutoff period, the student will receive a zero grade. There will be no exceptions to this rule. If a student is not here on the day an assignment is made, it is the student's responsibility to become aware of the assignment by contacting the instructor or fellow student. Also, if a student is absent on the due date of an assignment, it is his or her responsibility to insure the assignment is turned in on time.
