Rules to obey Quiz will always be given during lecture or tutorial session. If absent, student is required to write and submit the official letter within 7 working days after he/she missed the class/tutorial The letter should clearly state the reason of absent and attach together with the proof (MC, bus ticket, letter of appointment, etc) Failure of submitting the official letter on time, no other chance will be given to take the quiz Regarding the Mid Term Examination, if the student unable to attend because he/she is feeling sick, he/she has to inform the lecturer BEFORE the test is started. No re-test will be given for other excuses (clash with other subject, missed bus, etc)
