Woosong University Course Policy |
|
You
are expected to behave appropriately in your class. This means:
·
Turn off your cellular
phone.
·
Pay attention to the teacher.
·
Do not talk when
your teacher or your classmates are talking.
·
Participate in class. If the teacher asks you a question, try to

Attendance:
It is university
policy that students attend every class.
Failure to attend class will
lower a student's final grade. No
one can expect to improve their English if they do not come to class. If a student is late for class 3 times, it
will count as 1 absence. If a student
is absent, they MUST talk to their Department Head and obtain an
excused absence form. That form must then be given to the instructor.
If a student accumulates more than 5 unexcused absence hours in one semester, the student will
automatically receive an “F.” Students should check their attendance as often
as possible to avoid mistakes.
Only absences for sickness, car accidents,
interviews for military service, training for army reservists, departmental
events, and mourning will be considered with documentary evidence. Students
can get up to TWO CLASSES excused per semester within a week of the
absence. Any further excuses are up to
the instructor's discretion.

etc. Each student must be checked off at least twice.
