Important policies:
- Attendance and participation are required.
That said, you have 3 "free" absences to use for emergencies,
minor illnesses, being stranded off campus by a snow storm, and the like.
You need not explain these absences, but you should spend them wisely.
Each additional unexcused absence will lower your class performance grade
by one-half grade. Excused absences are for:
- A required, college sponsored
activity such as travel for a sports team or a choir
performance, or a required class trip (consult with your professor
ahead of time to make-up work).
- Extended or severe sickness. (Immediately
consult with your professor and class dean).
- Other emergencies, if sanctioned
by the Dean of the College or the Dean of Studies.
If you are absent, contact another student in the course
about what you missed. If you have lingering questions
after rereading
the assignment,
please bring them to office hours—or suggest a time
for an appointment.
- On the use and misuse of translations (Important:
please read this document.) .
