Attendance: Attendance is taken, but not graded. Students can attend only the sections they are registered to. You are responsible for the announcements made in class and in labs. (You may miss some of the quizzes and graded lab activities if you do not attend classes regularly.) Exam/Quiz/Homework/Lab Grading Appeals: Every effort will be made to ensure that grading is as objective and fair as possible. If you believe that there is an error in grading, please make an appointment with me within one week after the announcement of the grades. However, be advised that your grade could increase or decrease based on the second grading. Quizzes and Lab Work: No lab reports will be accepted or no make-up will be given for a missed lab. Lab works are to be done as a group and most of it cannot be reproduced outside the lab. No make-up will be given for a missed quiz. 10% bonus will be given to compensate for the missed quizzes and lab work. Missing a quiz or lab work: No make-up will be given since one of the worst quiz grades will be excluded in the calculation of the total grade. Homework: Not all homework will be graded. The lowest homework grade will not be included in the calculation of the final grade. Missing a homework: No make-up will be given since one of the worst homework grades will be excluded in the calculation of the total grade. Midterm: There will be one Midterm Exam. 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 the day of the exam is not sufficient documentation of a medically excused absence from an exam. The note must say that you were medically unable to take the exam. If you fail to take the exam on the assigned day and do not have a valid excuse, you will be given a zero (0) on the exam. Employment interviews, employer events, weddings, vacations, etc. are not excused absences. Provided that proper documents of excuse are presented for absence in the midterm, a make-up will be given as soon as possible. It is the student's responsibility to contact the instructor in at most 3 days after the regular exam date, if they need to take a make-up. Final: There will be one Final Exam. Missing a final: Faculty regulations. Eligibility to enter the final exam: Students are required to achieve 25% success rate as the average of the midterm exam, quizzes, homework and labs in order to enter the final exam.
