BERGEN COMMUNITY COLLEGE ATTENDANCE POLICY:
All students are expected to attend punctually every scheduled meeting of each course in which they are
registered. Attendance and lateness policies and sanctions are to be determined by the instructor for each
section of each course. These will be established in writing on the individual course outline. Attendance
will be kept by the instructor for administrative and counseling purposes.
ATTENDANCE POLICY IN THIS COURSE:
The study of a foreign-language necessitates that students attend classes regularly in order to achieve
proficiency. Therefore, students are expected to attend and actively participate in every scheduled class
meeting. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class session. Each student is responsible for all
6
material presented. If absent from a class, students are responsible for obtaining materials missed and
information on assignments, by contacting the instructor, or a classmate.

be given half-credit.
Quizzes will be given weekly, promptly at the beginning of the specified class period. Late students will not be
given extra time in which to complete the quiz. There will be no make-up for a missed quiz; missing a quiz is
the equivalent to a zero. Students will be permitted to drop lowest quiz grade. A make-up for an exam will be
given only in emergency situation. Official documentation to validate the nature of the absence is required.
