Students may be dropped for EXCESSIVE ABSENCE or LACK OF PARTICIPATION.

Excessive absence is 2 or more absences in the semester.
Lack of participation is missing 10% of graded work (exams, homework, etc).

I define missed assignments as any assignment scoring < 50%.

While I have the authority to drop a student at 2 or more absences and/or 10% of missed work,
I will typically to drop them under any of the following conditions:

1. 1 project
2. 3 hw's
3. 2 exams
4. 1 exam + 2 hw's

Regarding excessive absence, I'll typically drop at 3 or more absences (but I have the authority to drop at 2 or more absences)
- note you are considered absent if you are not here when i take roll

Check Canvas and see if you are close to being dropped.

If you are dropped, don't think of it as punishment.
Instead think of it as me saving you from get a D or F on your transcript.

If you can't fully participate, it's best to drop the class and take it again when you can.
