Instructor’s office and phone number: 5th floor, A564, 0 212 395 3600 Office hours: Mondays, 14:00 – 15:00, By Appointment email address: aydiny@mef.edu.tr Rules for attendance: Active participation in in-class discussions and practices contributes to the final grade as stated above. However, latecomers beyond 15 minutes will not be allowed to enter the class until a break. After the break, latecomers beyond 5 minutes will not be allowed to enter the class until the next break. Rules for quiz: Quizzes will be pop quizzes without any prior announcement. Moreover, once the quiz starts, no one is allowed to enter the classroom until the quiz ends. Missing a prework, HW, quiz: No make-up will be given. Missing a midterm: Provided that proper documents of excuse are presented, either a make-up exam will be given for each missed midterm exam or the grade of the second exam will be given as the grade of the first exam. If the second exam is missed, provided that proper documents of excuse are presented, a make-up exam will be given. Missing a project: No make-up will be given. Moreover, for the final project, if a student does not submit the report or does not show up during the demo/presentation without a proper document of excuse, she/he will automatically fail from the course. Passing Criterion: In order to pass the course with a letter grade of D, a student must obtain at least 50% from each exam and the project and at least 60% overall score when the weighted combination of all assessments is considered. The detailed letter grade table is uploaded to LMS.
