Attendance Class attendance is required and very important for successful completion of the course. Students are expected to attend and participate in every class which is interpreted as the entire class period and lab period. Excused absences must be planned for, when possible, and justified with documentation. The student is responsible for making up missed class/lab sessions. Late arrival that causes disruption, early departure that causes disruption, excessive conversation among students, and other actions that disrupt the classroom are unacceptable.

Use of Laptops Use of laptops/PDAs/Tablets and other electronic devices during the class is not allowed.

Mobile Phones In order to minimize the level of distraction, all beepers and mobile phones must be on quiet mode during class meeting times.
