giza@mef.edu.tr Students are expected to attend 70% of the classes. There is no make-up for missed classes. The attendance performance is going to be reflected by 10% to the final grades. One make-up exam will be given at the end of the semester for those who miss an exam due to a legitimate excuse accepted by the instructor. The students are expected to pursue in this class with honesty and integrity. Disciplinary action will be pursued in all instances if academic dishonesty and cheating has occurred. Students with disabilities should consult the instructor for their special needs. For any question, please consult the instructor via mail (giza@mef.edu.tr). |
