Attendance • Attendance will be recorded each week, beginning and midpoint of class, per school policies, which are clearly defined in the AIS Student Handbook. The students are responsible for being in class on time, with all necessary materials, ready to work. • Attendance is reflected in your grade. In case you are absent, it is your responsibility to get all materials and information you missed. • I have never heard a successful businessperson say “I wish I had studied less, gone to fewer classes, learned less.” The inverse of this statement is common. Come to class; contribute to everyone’s knowledge and success.
