These assignments will not be graded for skill or content, but will be evaluated for technical completion. 10% of the student grade will be determined by the final portfolio presentation. ATTENDANCE POLICY:Students are expected to attend all of every class meeting unless they have received prior permission from the instructor. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class meeting. Anyone absent when attendance is taken will be assumed absent from the class. If you are late to class it is your responsibility to make sure your attendance is acknowledged by talking to the instructor. If
you are intending to drop the class, please notify the instructor. You
should not assume that the instructor will automatically drop you because
of absences. If you stop attending classes and you do not
drop the class, and the instructor has not dropped you from the class;
the instructor may be required to give you a grade of F for the class. It shall be the policy of the Sonoma County Junior College District to maintain an attendance policy and procedures consistent with State and local requirements. 1.0 Attendance 1.1 Students are expected to attend all sessions of the course in which they are enrolled. 1.2 Any student with excessive absences may be dropped from the class. 2.0 Excessive Absence Defined 2.1 A student may be dropped from any class when that student’s absences exceed ten percent (10%) of the total hours of class time. 2.2 Instructors shall state in each course syllabus what constitutes excessive absence for that course. 3.0 Excused vs. Unexcused absences 3.1 Unless state or federal law requires that the absence be deemed excused, no instructor shall be required to make a distinction between excused and unexcused absences. 3.2 If individual Instructors wish to distinguish between excused and unexcused absences the instructor shall state in each course syllabus all criteria for any excused absences in addition to those required by state or federal law. 4.0 Nonattendance 4.1 Students who fail to attend the first two class meetings of a full semester course may be dropped by the instructor. 4.2 Faculty are required to drop all No-Show students by the Census Date of each census course. A No-Show is an enrolled student who has not attended any class meeting of the course at any time, or who has not contacted the instructor to make arrangements to remain enrolled in the course.
