This category is related to your attendance, course preparation, and participation in the class activity. Absence for three times or more may contribute to your failure in this course as each ineligible absence costs you FIVE points of the semester score.
You are reminded to pay attention to the following attendance policy: 1. Please inform me of your absence prior to the class, with the reason explained. 2. You need to do the informing by yourself, rather than asking others to pass your message, unless you are physically incompetent. This can be done in written or spoken form. 3.
