What is the attendance policy?
“You earn points for coming to class and lose points for unexcused absences. You earn 20 points for coming to class, and lose 20 points for each absence. In addition, you will earn from 20-40 points for completing required online assignments given in lieu of the second class meeting each week. Failure to complete a required online assignment will result in a 20 point deduction for each missed required assignment.Arriving to class late will result in a deduction of 10-20 points.In this course, students are expected to adhere to the Georgia State University student
code of conduct. This includes the
university attendance policy. Excused absences are limited to university-sponsored events where you are representing GSU in an official capacity, religious holidays, and legal obligations such as jury duty or military service days. Absences for all other reasons will result in a points deduction as outlined above. In the event of extended illness or family emergency, I will consider requests for individual exemption from the general attendance policy on a case by case basis” (
