The student is required to participate in class discussions for a grade. Any questions related to topic during lecture are considered participation.

Homework is considered part of class participation as stated above. It is also part of the materials the student must bring to class when it is due.

In that case, the student will have an extra day depending on the number of days the student was absent with a maximum of five days from the day the student returns to school to complete make-up work assignments. A doctor’s note must be provided. (NOTE: You will usually not have homework for this class, but if you do, it will be considered as described previously.)
