Attendance (5%)
Students are expected to attend class every week, remain for the entire session, and actively engage in class activities. Unexcused absences will negatively impact your attendance grade. However, being present at every session guarantees 100% of your attendance grade.

Impact on Grades
Attendance and participation play a significant role in determining your final grade. Active involvement throughout the semester can boost your grade, while consistently not participating or not engaging in course activities will result in a lower participation grade. Being present, prepared, and engaged is key to success in this class.
