circumstances should be brought to the instructor’s attention in advance

           (in person, by phone or e-mail).  Students are responsible for missed lecture

           material and lab assignments.  Each class day missed after the first 2 will lower

           the student’s final grade by one letter.  For instance, if the student has an “B”

           average at the end of the semester but has missed 4 days of class, the

           final grade will be reduced to “D”.  Students missing two straight weeks of class

           without notifying the instructor will be dropped from the course.

Class Procedure:  Class will start at 6:00 pm sharp.  After the lecture, the drawing

assignment(s) will be worked on in class.  The completed assignment will    

           be given to the instructor at the end of the class period. Quizzes (about 5) will be     

           given at the start of the period.  There will be no make-up of missed quizzes.
