Attendance: There is a ten-absence limit. Make-up work is only available to students with excused absences. It is the student's responsibility to find out the work that was missed during the excused absence. Homework due the day you were gone is due the day you return, unless absent three or more days. Since tests and quizzes are announced well in advance, plan on taking them with the class unless you were gone several days. Make up work PROMPTLY or it becomes a ZERO; schedule time with me to do so.

Grading: Extra Credit is not available for this class. It is the belief of Chandler Gilbert Community College that all work done for a class should receive regular credit and is more than sufficient to assess the understanding of material presented in the course.

Students needing extra clarification on assignments may meet with the teacher and make appropriate adjustments according to the needs of the student and at the discretion of the teacher.

Quarter 1-40% Quarter 2-40% Final Exam-20%

Your semester final will consist of an oral exam, a written exam, and a multiple-choice exam.
