Details about this class
Attendance Expectations: Attendance, in of itself, is not a grade component in CIS145. However, many in-class labs involve hands-on work with computer hardware and tools which must be completed inside of the classroom. Students who do not regularly attend scheduled class meetings may find themselves unable to complete all of the in-class lab work required to pass the class.
