ATTENDANCE
- You are allowed 6 hours of absences
in Grammar 3 during the term.
- Two lates equals one
absence.
- There will be no excused absences, so
you are encouraged to save your absences for times when you are really sick or
for emergency situations.
If you have more than 6 absences, one point for each absence over 6
will be deducted (taken away) from your final grade in the
course.
MAKE-UP WORK
- A student who is absent from class is
not allowed to make up any work unless he presents an excuse signed by
a doctor or nurse. Therefore, do not give me homework late if you don't
have a written excuse.
- A student who misses a major test and
does not have a written excuse will not be allowed to take the test
late. No exceptions!

- Pronunciation study and practice is a

of student performance will be based on attendance and participation in
pronunciation activities and will usually be the same as the grade received in
Grammar.
