Attendance Philosophy

In physics courses, student attendance has a significant affect of student performance and grades. Those students who are absent and do not make a concerted effort to “catch up” quickly, almost always fall further behind and their grades suffer. Students, who fall more than three days behind, rarely if ever manage to catch up.

The following attendance policy is designed to keep students on track and minimize the negative consequences of absences. Students are expected to take responsibility for finding out what they missed and catch up in a timely manner. In general, students are expected to catch up within one day for each day they were absent and no student should ever fall more than 3 days behind.
