Using mobile phones inside the class is not allowed. 2) Attendance: Only excuses obtained from the Students Affairs Dept. are accepted. Personal excuses are not accepted. Excuses must be submitted within a week of the absence. 6 unexcused absences result in DN. A grade of DN will be reported after the 6th unexcused absence. No make-up opportunities will be provided for quizzes or exams. In the event of a valid official excuse, the student will be assigned the average score of all his quizzes for the missed quiz and the average score of all his exams for the missed exam. 3) Homework assignments: Homework assignments and solutions will be given regularly and will be available in the common Blackboard course. Homework assignments’ submissions should be according to the guidelines of your instructor. It is ok to work in study groups when doing homework problems to discuss the material, but each student must still work on the assignment and write it up individually. Late homework submissions will not be accepted. The deadlines are written in each homework which is by default one week after the posting date. 4) The material of the exams: Major Exams: will be announced later. Final Exam: It will be a comprehensive exam. 5) Cheating: Any form of cheating will result in a zero for that assignment and possibly additional penalties, including a failing grade in the class. It is the responsibility of each student to safeguard his work from being copied. 6) Policy changes: The instructor reserves the right to modify the course outline and policies mentioned in this syllabus at any time during the semester.
