On Monday 11/30, we will be spending most of the class period on your reviewing of another student's proposal paper. For the 4:20 section only, we will be spending the first few minutes of class obtaining some background video footage for an upcoming ABA promotional video Caldwell College is shooting for national airing (very exciting!). Sharon Reeve will be taking over the class for the first few minute so that we may shoot the footage. You will all be asked to sign a waiver form to appear on film. If you do not want to appear in the video, you may leave the room while the footage is being shot (but why wouldn't you want to appear in the video being all interested and energetic, right?)

CLASS ATTENDANCE - Class attendance is expected. If you are not in class, you will not be able to turn in assignments, take notes, or participate in discussions and other experiential aspects of class. Information will be provided in class that cannot be found in the readings. Only one excused absence will be accepted. Additional absences will result in a lowering of your grade. If you have to miss a class, you are responsible for getting the information from that class from a fellow student. In addition, Caldwell College policy requires me to take attendance during every class, and report when a student misses two consecutive classes or any three classes during the semester. As a sign of respect for your fellow students and me, you are expected to arrive at class on time and stay throughout the class. Repeated lateness and/or leaving early will also result in a lower grade. If you cannot meet one of these expectations, please discuss with me ahead of time.
