Hi Alison,
I agree with Kare. Because you haven't built a policy into your syllabus,
it's best to rely on the peer evaluations. Granted, if you have a general
attendance policy in your syllabus you could lean on that; for example, if
they need to provide documentation of illness, etc.
My syllabus details that they cannot make up team in-class applications
because they have to be there to participate. Keeping in mind that life
happens, I do drop two scores at the end of the semester. (To clarify, I
don't grade in class applications. They count for 20 participation points
per activity).
I hope this helps.
Best,
Kristen
