Attendance
Each student is responsible for his or her own class attendance and regular attendance is expected. Every student is responsible for the material covered or the skills exercised during scheduled classes. Grades will be based on demonstrated achievement of the objectives of the course, not on attendance in class as such. Although attendance alone does not determine grades, students should be aware that grades may depend on class activities, experiments, discussions, or quizzes for which consistent attendance is necessary. Students who stop attending and fail to officially withdraw from a class will be given a grade of "FX" which calculates as an "F" in the GPA.
