Read the scenario below and then categorize statements about the scenario into true or false categories.

SCENARIO:

A student is enrolled in a once$-$a$-$week night class with an attendance policy, which begins in Week $2$ after drop$/$add$.$ Attendance accounts for $10\%$ of the final grade, and the lowest attendance grade for each student will be dropped at the end of the semester. Students who arrive $30+$ minutes late earn $50\%$ credit for the session. There are a total of $14$ class sessions that will be subject to the attendance policy, and one "absent" mark or two "late" marks will be dropped at the end of the semester. In addition to attendance, there is also a midterm exam that accounts for $15\%,$ two analysis assignments that account for $15\%$ each $(30\%$ total$),$ homework assignments that total $10\%,$ and a final project that accounts for $35\%$ of the final grade. There are also two extra credit assignments that allow students to earn up to $4\%$ extra credit. The first analysis assignment $($accounting for $10\%)$ is due in Week $4.$

The student attends the first and second weeks of classes. When the professor logs attendance for the second class, Canvas updates the student's grade to $100\%.$ The student skips the Week $3$ class to attend a concert they had tickets to since before they enrolled in the course. When the professor logs attendance for Week $3$ in Canvas, the student's grade changes from $100\%$ to $50\%.$ The student is distraught and angry at the change in their grade and sends their professor an email berating them for allowing something like a single absence to destroy their grade, their scholarship eligibility, and, indeed, their entire future. The student also notes that the concert plans were made before the student enrolled in the course so it is not the student's fault that the concert conflicted with the class schedule; the student tells the professor they need to keep things like this in mind when they grade students. The student demands that the professor excuse the absence$,$ and threatens to contact the dean and the provost, and to file a formal complaint on the grounds that it is unreasonable and unjust to penalize students so harshly for missing one class.
