**Also, I would again like to remind you all that both attendance and participation are part of your final grade (120 points of the total are for attendance AND participation); absences and lack of preparation for, and participation in class will result in reduced points and will affect your final grade. Reading, writing, participating, and attending are crucial to your success in this class.
