Therefore, this course allows a specified number of absences without penalty, regardless of reason. You are allowed 4 absences (equivalent to 2 weeks of class). Four absences means you could miss slightly more than 10% of the class and still get an A. Each additional absence past 4 will lower your final grade by 2%. Your instructor can communicate with you about how to access materials or make up work.
