Joel David Compton--Office: C-Block Coordinator’s Office Attendance: Students must attend 20 classes in order to receive a grade for the final project. There are no exceptions to this. The students are able to miss up to 7 classes (sickness, unforeseen family issues). Only psychological or other long-standing medical issues and business with the university (sports teams, for example) will be considered as reasons to cancel this attendance policy. Students must conduct themselves professionally within the classroom. The faculty of The School of Foreign Languages does not tolerate plagiarism of any kind (mosaic, cloning, mashups, properly cited copying). Students who plagiarize will potentially have to meet with the disciplinary committee. YÖK Disciplinary Regulation applies for students who plagiarize or are disruptive in class.
