Attendence Tracking
I've switched to a digital attendance tracking system for better accuracy! You can now keep an eye on your attendance record and see how it accumulate. There are five codes: "Present", "Explained Absence", "Unexplained Absence" (which will dock points), "Late", and "Early Leaver". While we're only counting unexplained absences against your grade, please aim to be on time and stay for the whole class. And hey, if you spot any mistakes in your record, let us know right away, preferably within a week.
