Attendance at writing assignments is expected, and will be excused only
in the case of documented medical reasons or academic conflicts such as
career interviews.
Absences for other reasons will be considered unexcused absences.
Excused and unexcused absences can be made up if the instructor is
informed in advance. Writing assignments will not be given before their
scheduled dates.
Excused absences can be made up for full value. Unexcused absences
will be made up with a 20% penalty each day the assignment is late.
