responsible for all material covered and announcements made in your absence. Class time will
include opportunities to work on assignments with individualized instruction. It is necessary to
come to class to learn the material in this course. Students are encouraged to ask questions
during the lecture. More personal attention to questions can be entertained after class or by
email.

each class period. In order to maximize your hands on learning and class time, it is asked that
assignments are completed before coming to class.

information conveyed via campus email rests with the student.

Missed Classes: This policy is influenced by the college's absence policy. Dakota College at
Bottineau expects students to attend all sessions of each class in which they are enrolled. See
attendance in the Dakota College at Bottineau student handbook on the web at
Although students are allowed to miss class in the case of an emergency, students are still
required to complete all class activities and are responsible for all material covered and
changes in the semester schedule.
An excused absence is generally accepted and understood as being any religious observances,
university activities, illness and other emergency type circumstances. If you simply tell me you
won't be attending a class I assume unexcused unless you have a circumstance defined as
excused. The first two excused absences are on the “honor system”, after that any absence
will not be designated "excused" until documentation has been provided and verified. Absences
due to minor conditions (lack of transportation, conflict with an appointment, etc.) are
considered unexcused.
