Lisätietoja
Attendance policy. 100% attendance is usually expected. The effect of any necessary absences on that student's work will be assessed by the teacher, and where necessary extra work in compensation may be required. More than two absences may result in the student having to leave to course, if in the teacher's judgment too much has been missed. The first class and later the first class when The Winter's Tale is started are particularly important and neither should be missed.
Oppimateriaalit
