this will be an important part of learning and retaining your skills
you previously learned. There are 5 points each day for

point will be deducted from the weekly participation points of
everyone in the group.

ASSIGNMENTS:
Passes: You will have five (5) passes to leave the room for any
reason per term. Any pass left at the end of the semester
will be counted for extra points in the effort part of the total
grade. They are worth 5 points each.

ATTENDANCE:
You must be in the room going to your seat when the bell
rings. A Tardy Policy sheet is attached to this packet. It
is VERY distracting to everyone in the room if you walk in
the room late. Remember, the more you miss class, the
further behind you will get. Since this is a VISUAL learning
class, it is extremely difficult to catch up especially with
many absences. Make EVERY EFFORT to attend classes.
GOOD LUCK!!!
