period. If a student is absent from the laboratory portion of the class, it will be recorded as an absence from
that portion of the class only.
A letter grade will be deducted from the class participation portion of your final grade for each absence beyond
three absences from either portion of a class period.
SPECIAL NOTES:
A final grade cannot be assigned for the course until all drawings, projects
and examinations for the course have been completed.
Make-up examinations will be administered in accordance with the instructor’s
and division’s policy.
