Attendance Policy

Attendance:

Students are required to attend all lectures.  Students who miss lectures will find it very difficult to succeed on the examinations and quizzes. Personal travel plans do not serve to excuse students from assignments.

Because the class is so large, it is important that students to arrive and depart on time. Students should be seated and ready to begin before the start of class and remain until class is dismissed. Late arrivals and early departures are disruptive and prohibited.  Trips to the restroom are included in this policy, aside from exceptional circumstances. Students with a confirmed medical condition necessitating late arrival or early departure should consult with Professor Maloney for a waiver of the arrival and departure policy. Students requiring accommodations arising from disabilities who are unable to conform to the attendance policy are not subject to the policy on late arrivals and early departures if they notify Professor Maloney in a timely manner.

Students who arrive late or depart early must use only the center rear doors to the classroom, must identify themselves to a GTA and will be subject to deductions as specified in the table below.
