| Attendance Policy | Attendance online is a tricky thing. Instead of coming to class, I mark attendance by regular completion of assignments. Should a student miss 10 or more assignments, they will fail the class. Students are required to complete both the Essay Proposal Assignment, and the Essay. Failure to do either will result in failure of the class. Students are required to regularly check Blackboard at least every 2 days. | ||||||||
