2. Attendance
More than 3 absences – grade is lowered 1 letter grade (i.e. A  B)
3% perk!
Excused vs Unexcused Absence

3. Excused
**Legal document / official medical note or form from healthcare provider needed

4. NOT Excused

5. What happens if….
This will NOT be a valid excuse for making up an exam, but I will accept it as an excused absence. HOWEVER, this is the ONLY type of absence I will accept without proof. But I only will only do it once.

6. How do I get the 3% increase in my grade?
You don’t miss ANY classes. If you are absent, even if it is excused, you will NOT be eligible for the 3% boost.

7. Calculating my Grade
Lab Work – 20%
Midterm – 40%
Final – 40%

8. Or you could think of it as points
There are 250 points in the class
Lab Homework: 5 points each x 11 = 55 points *I cap it at 50 points*
Midterm: 100 points
Final: 100 points
How many points for each grade? A: B: C:
D: 149 – 173
F: 148 and below

9. Lab Homework
Lab work will be assigned in class. You will have the lab period to complete it. You may work in groups. 10 questions will be randomly assigned from lab manual, plus 6 questions that I give. I do NOT accept late lab homework. There is no partial credit. No make ups. You must turn it in after each lab class.

10. What if I know I won’t make it to lab on a given day?
You can complete the end-of-chapter questions in the lab manual for the particular lesson and turn it in to me next lab session
(Ex. If you miss Monday, you bring it in Wednesday. If you miss Wednesday, you bring it in Monday)
Keep in mind though, this homework will only be given half credit (2 points)

11. Are there quizzes?
No 
Review games instead

12. How are the Exams? NO make up for exams Partial labeling
Partial multiple choice
NOTE: You will NOT be given a word bank for label based questions
