To ensure a productive and engaging learning experience, consistent attendance is crucial for the success of both individual students and the group as a whole. Below are the guidelines for attendance during this series:

Attendance Expectations:

Learners are expected to attend at least 80% of the scheduled sessions. Regular participation is key to keeping up with the material and benefiting from collaborative learning.

Punctuality:

Students should arrive on time for each session. If you are more than 15 minutes late, please notify the instructor in advance if possible. Late arrivals may miss important content and disrupt the class.

Excused Absences: Absences will be excused for valid reasons, such as illness or emergencies. If you need to miss a session, please inform the instructor at least 24 hours in advance when possible. In case of a planned absence, it’s your responsibility to catch up on missed material, either through session recordings (if available) or by reaching out to peers or the instructor for resources. Unexcused Absences: Learners who miss more than two consecutive sessions without prior notice or valid reason may be asked to review missed content independently. Continued unexcused absences may lead to a review of their participation in the course. Makeup Sessions: While makeup sessions will not be offered for missed classes, additional resources, recordings, and readings will be provided to help learners catch up. Active Participation: Learners should actively engage in sessions, which includes asking questions, sharing ideas, and completing any in-session activities. Active engagement helps maintain the flow of learning and ensures everyone gets the most out of the series. Withdrawal Policy: If a learner’s attendance or participation falls below acceptable levels, the instructor reserves the right to withdraw the student from the course after prior communication and review. By adhering to these guidelines, all learners can maximize their learning experience and maintain a respectful, focused environment for everyone involved.
