yilmazbuse@mef.edu.tr +90 212 395 3719 Rules for attendance: 70% lecture and lab attendance is mandatory. Missing a lab practice: Lab practices will start at the beginning of each lab session and end at the end of 2-hours period. Any submission not completed by the end of the session will receive partial credit. No grade will be given to a lab practice if the student does not attend that lab session. Provided that proper documents of excuse (e.g., health issues) are presented, each missed lab practice by the student will be given a grade which is equal to the average of all of the other lab practices the student attended. No make-up will be given. Missing the inclass quizzes: No make-up will be given. The student must physically attend the quiz in the class to get any points. No late submissions are allowed. Missing an exam: No make-up for the missed exam will be given. The exam grade will be calculated based on other assessments that are related to the exam topics.
