Rules for attendance: YÖK regulations. You are responsible for the announcements made in class. Rules for late submission of assignments: Essay deadlines are always extendable up to 72 hours, with submissions late for (0,24] hours receive 70% of the credit they get, (24,48] hours receive 35% , and (48,72] receive 10%. Missing a quiz: Provided that proper documents of excuse are presented, a make-up exam will be given for each missed quiz. 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 exam is not a sufficient documentation of medically excused absence from the exam. The note must say that you were medically unable to take the exam. Provided that proper documents of excuse are presented, a make-up exam will be given for each missed midterm. If you fail to take the exam on the assigned day and do not have a valid excuse, you will be given zero (0) on the exam. Employment interviews, employer events, weddings, vacations, etc. are not excused absences. Eligibility to take the final exam: YÖK regulations. Missing a final: Faculty regulations.
