Attendance Bonus
Class attendance is considered valuable. You can get a bonus just for coming to class. Here is how it works. We are scheduled for about 30 classes. Each class is worth two points. That gives a total of about 60 points. I will take attendance each class. If you are on time then you get two (2) points. If you are late or leave early, even by an instant, then you get one (1) point. If it helps then attendance will count 15% of your grade. You cannot get the bonus points if you are not in class Regardless of the reason. But you will never be penalized for missing a class being late to a class
Attendance Bonus Grading Example
Let's assume that a fictional student : Missed two classes Was late for one class	60	Points Max
	-1	One late
	-4	Two Absences
	55	Total Points
55/60=	91.6%	Fictional Student's Attendance Score
Click Here for a 337 example Click Here for a 470 example	75%	Fictional Student's average from all other work. If the attendance bonus does not HELP then this is the final grade. 72.6% is a C-. (Thats a C minus) Click here to see the grade cut off points.
Now we recompute the score The test average counts 90% The attendance counts 10%
10%(91.60) +90%(75.00) Bonus Adjusted Score	9.16 67.50 76.66	The bonus adjustment brings the final grade from a C to a C+
