IX Classroom Policies
B. Attendance Policy
Students are required to attend all classes starting from the first day of the semester.
Attendance will be taken at the start of the lecture. If the student enters the
classroom after 10 minutes, he will be marked absent.
2.5 points will be assigned to the attendance. Half a point will be deducted from
the student’s total grade for every one absence after missing 4 classes.
“DN Grade” will be issued to a student who misses 16 classes. This means he cannot
enter any more classes or exams. (1st warning: 6 absence ; 2nd warning: 11 absences)
There is an online tool "MyMathLab" which is a very helpful tool that should improve
your performance in the course with all the helping features available. Your instructor
will give you all the details about registering and using it.
Online Homework will be given during the term. A deadline for submitting each
homework will be determined by your instructor. 5 points will be assigned to the
Homework.
To access the Online homework you will need an Access Code. You can purchase it
from Al-Shigrey Bookstore or online from Pearson. You can register with a temporary
account for 14 days (only once) after which you must convert it to a permanent account.
It is the sole responsibility of the student to ensure that he has purchased the Access
Code and completed the homeworks before the stated deadlines.
Please note that after the deadlines have passed, homeworks will not be opened for any
reason whatsoever.
Calculators:
Only Scientific Calculators are allowed in this course (No Graphing Calculators).
We recommend Casio fx-991ES
Office Hours:
You are advised and encouraged to seek help to clarify matters that are not clear to you
as soon as possible.
Check the table posted on your instructor’s door for the office hours incase you need
assistance or you need to inquire about matters concerning your marks, absence, and so
on. If you need to see him at a different time, arrange with him in advance.
Participation
2.5 points will be assigned to Class Participation.
Points will be assigned to the active participation such as asking questions, solving
examples, being attentive and attending office hours
Points will be also assigned to the student’s readiness in class (having pens and
notebook), and for taking good notes. Points may be deducted for using mobiles in the
classroom.
The Department offers an Extra class on Thursdays. This class is used to solve some
homework problems, previous exams, and offer extra help. All students are
recommended and required to attend these tutorial classes.
If you are absent or late, then you will get a zero for the quiz. There are no make-up
quizzes.
If you miss an exam due to a severe medical emergency the department may offer
you a make-up exam provided you bring a valid medical excuse from a
governmental hospital within one week of the exam. After one week no excuses
will be accepted and no make-up exam will be offered.
