7. Class Components and Grading
The letter grade will be calculated according to the following table:

8. Course Policies Attendance: Attendance is mandatory.
Late arrivals will disrupt the class session. Hence, two late attendances (more than 10 minutes) will be considered as one absence.
Missing more than 20% will result in a DN (Denial) grade without prior warning. To avoid being considered as an absent, an official excuse must be shown no later than one week of returning to classes.
Make-up: make-up of assignments, quizzes, or exams will not be given unless you have an official excuse (with proper documentation), even so, your grade will be cut by 25%.
Re-grading policy: If you have a complaint about any of your grades, discuss it with the instructor no later than a week of distributing the grades.
Office Hours: Students are encouraged to use the office hours to clarify any part of the material that is not clear; however, the instructor will only provide hints if it is an assigned task but not solve it.

9. Course Policies Academic honesty:
It is expected that all students never claim work which is not their own.
Although collaboration is highly encouraged, copying others’ work without proper citation, either in part or full, is considered plagiarism.
Violating this policy will result in a substantial grade penalty, and may lead to expulsion from the University.
Courtesy:
Students are expected to be courteous toward the instructor and their classmates throughout the duration of this course.
Talking while someone else is speaking will not be tolerated.
All cell phones must be turned off during class and exams.
Students are expected to be in class on time. More importantly, you are not allowed to leave the class unless it is an urgent matter.
Food and drinks are not allowed during class, with the exception of a bottle of water.
