Instructor’s office: 5th floor, Exams: Closed book and closed notes. Rules for attendance: YÖK regulations. Missing a midterm: You are expected to be present without exception and to plan any travel around these dates accordingly. Medical emergencies are of course excluded if accompanied by a doctor’s note. A note indicating that you were seen at the health center on the day of the midterm/quiz is not a sufficient documentation of medically excused absence from the midterm/quiz. The note must say that you were medically unable to take the midterm/quiz. Provided that proper documents of excuse are presented, a make-up for the missing midterm/quiz will be given. If you fail to take the midterm/quiz on the assigned day and do not have a valid excuse, you will be given zero (0) on the midterm/quiz. Employment interviews, employer events, weddings, vacations, etc. are not excused absences. Eligibility to take the final exam: No final exam. Missing a final: No final exam.
