Method:
Example 1: 10 tardies, 3 absences → grade can be processed
Example 2: 4 absences, 1 tardy → automatic 'F' grade.
•
1 absence = -1 point from the total (100 points)
•
1 tardy = -0.5 points from the total (100 points)
Example 1: 2 absences, 1 tardy, 100 points midterm, 100 points presentation = 17.5 + 40 + 40 = 97.5
Example 2: 100 points midterm, 90 points presentation = 20 + 40 + 36 = 96 points
Sick leave and excused absence:
Main reasons for granting excused absences:
The student must submit official documents to the Department → Advisor and department chair must approve → Final approval by the university → Official absence permission must be submitted to the course instructor.
1) The total number of excused absences cannot exceed one-half of the class time.
2) Attendance will not be recognized without the submission of official documentation to confirm the reason for the absence.
3) There is no need to inform the professor in advance!
