Just a note about absences

I am expecting that you are keeping track of your own and that for those of you who have workshops, you are aware that missing a distribution day or missing your own workshop will take the grade of your piece down by ten percent. (That is a full letter grade.) That is just the grade for the piece itself. You also lose participation points that day. Your overall grade is impacted immensely. Those of you in Adv. Creative Writing have only one meeting a week, missing that means missing around ten percent of the class that you paid for. Missing twice should make it impossible for you to pass. Please take note of all of this.
