Please join the class on time. Being late for more than twenty minutes is regarded as being absent for that hour. TWO POINTS will be taken off from your final grade for each hour of absence. 3. If you are absent due to uncontrollable situations, such as acute/severe illness, emergency, important occasions, etc., please file your application along with the valid proof on NYCU (NCTU) Students Leave System (http://stuoffcourse.nctu.edu.tw/) within 1 week.
