Notify the professor in advance if you must miss a class, be late for a class or leave early.(Official University Policy: Class attendance is the responsibility of the student. When a student has a legitimate absence, the instructor may permit the student to complete missed assignments.

Additionally, students are expected to present homework problems in class on a regular basis. These areas will count toward 15% of your grade.
