New Attendance Policy

I know we're an early morning class and sometimes it's hard to get out of bed, so I'm going to revise the attendance policy a little bit. I would rather start strict and get easier if the class is good, which you are- so lucky you! The current rule is that you have three classes you can miss, and the fourth will fail you. Here's the new rule:

You have three classes you can miss with no problems. Miss a fourth and you'll get a warning letting you know that it will start hurting your grade if you miss another. Rather than failing the class, each class you miss after the fourth will cost you one percentage point off the final grade. Since we're also having lateness issues, if you're more than five minutes late it will count as missing the class and the consequences will be the same.

You can bring in homework on time if you miss a class because it's all posted here, but anything due the day you missed will be late and thus not worth full points, and you won't get any in-class points, so missing will hurt your grade, but it won't immediately fail you.
