Classroom Policy
1. Assignments and research projects/report works will be given throughout the semester. Such requirements shall be due as announced in class. Late submission shall be penalized with grade deductions (5% per day) or shall no longer be
accepted, depending on the subject facilitator’s discretion. Assignments and exercises are designed to assist you in understanding the materials presented in class, and to prepare you for the exams.
2. Students are required to attend classes regularly, including possible make-up classes. The student will be held liable for all topics covered and assignments made during his/her absence. The university guidelines on attendance and tardiness
will be implemented. Every meeting, an attendance sheet will be passed around. Be sure to sign it.
3. Academic honesty should be practiced at all times. Any evidence of copying or cheating on any course work may result in a failing grade for all parties involved.
4. Reporters should be ready to report on the scheduled date of presentation. No show or no report means a grade of 3.0 in that area.
5. Withdrawal and dropping of the subject should be done in accordance with existing university policies and guidelines.
