Answer explanation

10% off each day late: IE. An assignment is worth 100 points. If you turn it in 2 days late (10x2 = 20% aka 20 points) the maximum grade you could get for it is an 80 (100 - 20)

True. It is expected you'll be paying attention to the lecture - no phone use and only speaking if directly being spoken to by the instructor. It's also expected that you will be ready to take notes.

What do you do if you come in late?

• Come in quietly and catch yourself up via the Agenda and Google Classroom.

• Ask a neighbor what you should be doing

• Do nothing and makeup what you missed at home

• Ask the teacher what you should be doing

Answer explanation

If you have an excuse for being tardy you may email me to see what you've missed and give me your excuse, however it is never appropriate to disrupt the class either by asking me or a peer what you've missed.

Same goes with being absent: you are responsible for finding out and following up with what you missed.
