Class Participation:
You will receive 100 points on your participation points if you
miss NO (0) classes (for any reason)!
For every class period that you miss, you will loose five points
of your participation points. Participation
means that you are in class (ON TIME) and adequately participate
in what your instructor asks of you.
Remember, this is the easiest grade to "ACE". However,
if you miss more than a few classes, your
participation grade will lower your total grade.

always a risk of injury or accident. Therefore, it is suggested
