An ABS in the gradebook means absent. It is your responsibility to check the homework board, website, or to see me on your time (during class is the class' time) to obtain any notes, handouts, or work assigned that you missed.
Any ABS will change to a zero if the assignment is not handed in promptly (you have as many days to complete as you were absent).Back to Top
