- -1 point for tardiness (showing up after roll).

- Office Hours
- Tuesday 15:00-15:20 and Thursday 15:00-17:00, Lockett 363.
Office hours are the students' time to meet with their instructor and do not require an appointment. I hold office hours during the posted times or by appointment, so email me if you can't make it to a certain time.
I welcome everyone during office hours, whether you're taking my section or even another course, but I prioritize those for which the posted hours are designated.
I will be holding special office hours on December 11th, 08:00-12:00 during exam week. - Absence
- I excuse absences for the following reasons:
- Email me day-of in the case you're sick, have an emergency, if there's hazardous weather, etc. No note necessary.
- Email me in advance if you have plans or appointments during class.
- Email me a sick note or proof of valid excuse under LSU PS22.
Additionally, I typically take roll within the first 5 minutes of class to allow students to show up slightly late, but it is always better to be tardy than absent.
