- Attendance Policy: ATTENDANCE, CLASS MEETINGS & PARTICIPATION
Countless studies demonstrate that students who attend regularly perform better and learn
more than those who don't attend class. This course works best when there is a discussion of ideas and sharing of questions and answers to discern difficult concepts. Your input and active participation are encouraged to help you and others learn more effectively. Although class meetings serve to enhance and enlighten the comprehension of material that is presented in the assigned readings, you will also be responsible for details presented in class that are not directly evident in the text, including any class handouts, video material or guest speakers. Be forewarned that material presented during class will also reflect recent developments in the ad industry, effectively updating the text and other reading materials. Regular attendance is necessary to succeed in this course.
Roll will be taken every day in some shape or form. You are allowed one unexcused absences from class during the semester. For each absence beyond one, you will lose one letter grade from your overall semester grade per day for each day you miss unless there are extenuating circumstances. Please come to class on time. If you are more than ten minutes late, I reserve the right to mark you absent for the period. If you have a valid excuse and must leave class early for some reason, please speak to me ahead of time so I won’t mark you absent for leaving early.
Your participation will account for 10 percent of your overall grade. At times I will ask you to lead discussion of at least one case study and take on the role during the semester to lead a weekly review of important industry news from Advertising Age or lead us through one of the case studies from our readings. While part of your participation grade will be reflected on these roles, obviously if you miss class you can’t participate and be involved with discussion or learning.
Students who anticipate the necessity of missing any class to the observation of a major religious observance should provide notice of the date(s) to the instructor, in writing, by the third class meeting.
