If you are unable to make a deadline or be present for class, reach out to me ASAP so we can discuss options/ make arrangements.
Cell Phones:
Your focus needs to be on the material being presented and the tasks you will be doing. Cell phone usage during class time will not be tolerated, if you need to use your phone, ask permission first.

Regular attendance and work ethic/attitude is an important job skill and will be treated as such in my classes. 30 percent of your grade will be awarded based on your attendance, class participation, time management, and ability to follow the expectations and policies. Disrespect, tardiness, multiple absences, cell phone use during class time, and poor time management negatively affect your Attendance / Professionalism grade.
