The best way to contact me is by e-mail. I respond to your e-mails latest within a day, so I expect the same thing from you. It is your responsibility to update your contact information in our Online System.
Class Attendance: Students are expected to attend classes regularly, be punctual, and complete all work whether present or not.
Class Participation: Each student must actively participate in class discussions in order to earn his/her "class participation" grade. It is not enough to join the class and just sit and listen to the instructor or other students. You will not earn class participation grade that way. Sometimes, I will call on students to answer questions and discuss class materials. Leaving the class session during the class before the break and without the permission of the instructor is strictly prohibited. Students will be encouraged to participate in class, and contribute to the learning experience. Students are always free and encouraged to give feedback and ask questions about the course via e-mail to instructor (kavadarlia@mef.edu.tr).
Make-up exams will be subject to the Excuse Regulation (link: (https://students.mef.edu.tr/tr/mazeretlerin-kabulu-ve-mazeret-sinavlarinin-yapili#gsc.tab=0). Students are required to submit a request (together with their reports) to the faculty secretary within three (3) days of the exam via this link: https://www.cognitoforms.com/MEFUniversity/MazeretBildirimFormu). The requests are discussed with the faculty board and the decision taken by the faculty secretary is sent to the instructor. Once the student’s excuse is accepted, the instructor and the student will decide together to arrange the place and time.
Academic dishonesty and plagiarism will be subject to the YÖK Disciplinary Regulation.
