 VIP students. That said, my office hours aren't busy 90% of the time so don't
 hesitate to drop in if you have a question. Email or ping me in the discord

+both members being present is ideal, but not required. I will also be available
+for shorter questions during our weekly meetings for shorter questions, and
+over email if an immediate answer is not needed. For more productive office
+hours, email me beforehand with your question or problem so I can better help
+you.

+
+| Points |                               Criteria                             |

+|   1    | Entry does not contain VIP related Work, or is lacking explanation |
+|   0    |                           No Entry Present                         |

+deduction to that weeks entry.
+
+### Responsibilities & Contributions

+have been working on. Presentations can be done in groups/sub-teams if the VIP

+0 points for no presentation. There will be no unexcused late submission for
+presentations.
+

+based on VIP Members' availability. If the meeting time does not work for a
+student, alternate options will be discussed.
+
+Students are allowed 2 unexcused absences. If a student is to miss a meeting
+they are responsible for anything that occurred in the missed meeting. Students
+are to notify the VIP Advisor/Leadership team if they were to miss a meeting. 
+
+### End of Semester Presentation or Report

+they have completed during the semester. Further details regarding the presentation
+will be given towards the end of the semester.
