Rules
This course follows IZU's attendance policies. The University says that you can have four unexcused absences, but the University does not really differentiate between excused and unexcused absences. Weddings, funerals, illnesses (cold, flu, vertigos etc.), missing the shuttle in the morning and having a regular job in or out of the campus are not excused absences. In fact, the lecturer will not accept any excuse for being an absentee. Do not bring any medical reports for your illness. It will not be accepted as an excuse. So plan accordingly. If you have more than four absences, you will fail the class. In this case, you will not be allowed to take the final exam. Your letter grade will be DZ.
The lecturer will take attendance at the beginning of each lecture and will upload it to the KAMPUS system directly. Please do not forget that coming to class more than ten minutes late will be considered an absence, but please come to class even if you're going to be marked absent because the information we learn in class is important. If you leave before the end of a lecture, you will be marked absent for this lecture.
The easiest solution to all of this, of course, is just not to miss lectures.
