> course attendance | participation | attitude | effort
Attendance, participation, an attitude of fortitude, and making the effort in this class is critical to your success. You will fall behind very quickly if you don’t attend class and your proficiency and final grade will suffer. You can’t learn and apply what you’re learning if you aren’t present physically and mentally.
If you must miss a class because of illness or an unexpected emergency you must contact the instructor within 24 hours of your absence either by e-mail or phone, and provide written documentation of your excuse (e.g., doctor’s note) within one week of your absence in order for the absence to be considered excused. If you know in advance that you must miss class for a university related activity (e.g. athletic event, academic competition) or religious observance, you must notify the instructor in writing at least one class session before you will miss class in order for it to be considered excused.

Data loss of any type is not an excuse for missed deadlines. It is each individual student’s responsibility to ensure that they have current copies of their digital data. External hard drives and flash drives are relatively inexpensive and easily obtainable. There is no excuse for missing deadlines! That said: if you need assistance in backing up your data, please ask.
