Up to thirty (30) points will be awarded for your contribution to the class.

Excessive absences and arriving late for class will cause points to be deducted. Please call me so your absence can be excused. 1. Any student accumulating more than three absences will need to meet with me to discuss why he/she should not be dropped from the class. 2.
