Classroom Etiquette

Attendance Policy
In order to develop a proper understanding of Naval Engineering, it is insufficient for you to merely read the assigned material or browse the lecture pages. It is also necessary that you attend and participate in each lecture to supplement the text material. Therefore, attendance is mandatory. Absences may be excused only if arranged in advance and only on a case by case basis. Tardiness to class will not be tolerated. Once you are commissioned, it’s not cutting class, it’s an Unauthorized Absence
