ATTENDANCE
POLICY
Attendance
is
taken
at
the
beginning
of
each
class
period.
The
student
is
expected
to
attend
all
classes,
except
in
the
case
of
a
University-‐approved
excused
absence
(see
the
Student
Policy
eHandbook:
www.auburn.edu/studentpolicies).
In
the
case
of
an
expected
absence,
advance
notice
should
be
provided
to
the
instructor
as
soon
as
such
absence
is
known.
Except
in
the
case
of
a
University-‐excused
absence,
it
is
the
instructor’s
prerogative
to
deem
an
absence
excused
or
unexcused.
In
the
case
of
a
University-‐excused
absence,
all
assignments
will
be
due
at
the
beginning
of
the
next
class
attended.
ONE
UNEXCUSED
ABSENCE
WILL
BE
ALLOWED.
EACH
ADDITIONAL
ABSENCE
MAY
RESULT
IN
A
LETTER
GRADE
REDUCTION
(from
the
final
grade)
PER
ABSENCE.
Each
instance
of
tardiness
may
count
as
one-‐half
of
an
unexcused
absence.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Students
who
need
accommodations
are
asked
to
electronically
submit
their
approved
accommodations
through
AU

and
to
arrange
a
meeting
during
office
hours
the
first
week
of
classes,
or
as
soon
as
possible
if
accommodations
are
needed
immediately.
If
you
have
a
conflict
with
my
office
hours,
an
alternate
time
can
be
arranged.
To
set
up
this
meeting,
please
contact
me
by
e-‐mail.

not
established

HONESTY
Auburn
University

with
honesty
and
integrity.
The
Academic
Honesty
Code
is
available
in
the
Student
Policy
eHandbook
(http://www.auburn.edu/studentpolicies)
and
contains
a
list
of
those
actions
that
are
considered
cheating
and
the
possible
consequences
they
carry.
Violations
of
the
Academic
Honesty
Code
will
NOT
be
tolerated
in
this
course.
GRADING
POLICY

3
(three)
optional

extra

Each
for
2
points,
total

*
I

.5%.
For
example,
an

89.4%
will
not
=
90%.
*If you are > 89.5% before the Exam 2, you can get an A without taking the Exam2 –your choice!
