Expectations : Attendance & participation in class: Attendance: Only 4 no-shows are allowed during the term. Missing more than 20% of classes will result in an F. This is also applicable for the Audit students. Your participation in class will affect your grade which will be evaluated based on the discussions made during the lecture and your involvement. Missing the role plays or homeworks done in class will result in lower grade. Make sure that you bring your textbooks and handouts (used in the previous lessons). Each student should bring his / her own books. In case you forget to bring the books, your grade of attendance and participation is subject to influence. Please make sure you come to the lectures on time and in case of more than 15 min delay, you may attend the class while being considered as absent. Preparation & homeworks: You should be well prepared before coming to class which include a review of the previous lectures, homework, books and notebooks. In case of absence, you are expected to catch up the covered material you missed and you are required to do any homework given in that lecture. In this case, contact other students or the instructor to get the handouts distributed at this specific class. Absenteeism isn t an excuse not to do the homework. Late homeworks will be accepted for feedback but the grade will be zero (0). I only accept typed, double spaced and font size 12 and fully punctuated homework, and with your name, and that should be given to me on time(during the class)
Wrong or incomplete homeworks are not counted, so in case of you don t understand the subject you should ask your instructor. The handouts and photocopies should be organized in a folder.
