As in all journalism courses, attendance
is extremely important. Although much of our work eventually will be done
online, we will have numerous sessions devoted to group discussions and
supervised writing.
Because of this, each student is allowed one unexcused absence. After that first absence, your final grade will be lowered a step for each successive absence. For example, if a student has a solid B in the class and has one excused absence and two others, the final grade will be lowered two steps to C+. Those two extra absences mean a week of class and that's too much to miss. Two late arrivals equal one absence. |
