(Note: I just deleted the Google Lit Trips posting because it looks way too complicated to make one, and I would have to get permission first before even starting it. Sorry! We can get by on 13 postings instead of 14 though. => Dr. Schettler, 11/16/2011)

Attendance is mandatory and will be taken every day. You are allowed up to 4 unexcused absences. After that, your attendance grade will be reduced 5% (a half-grade) for each additional absence. Finally, please no cell phones or other electronic devices in class. Sometimes I will ask you to put laptops away if needed.
