11. How To Study CSC215
Review CSC111 thoroughly. You are expected to be mastering all of their topics.
Attend lectures and labs
Arrive on time
Pay attention, ask questions and take notes
Study what you have learned on the same day
Read slides, notes and optionally the textbook
Redo the examples by yourself
Apply on a computer
Use my office hours. I'm getting paid for them, they are free for you.
Do all of your homework assignments
Spend enough time thinking
Implement and run your solutions
Submit in a timely manner
Look for examples, exercises, problems to solve
Discuss with your colleagues, but never ask for ready solutions, and submit your own work.

12. Attendance Policy
❝II. With regard to student attendance (please note the following changes that will be implemented as a college starting this Semester):
Anyone with absence of 25% or more will be barred from entering the final exam
NO EXCEPTIONS will be made (even if the student is in his/her final Semester).
NO medical excuses should be accepted as a way for deducting the number of absence days
(25% of allowed absence in a Semester is actually there for the purpose of such health or other emergency circumstances).
A medical excuse may only be used in the case that a student misses an exam (to allow for a make-up exam)
however, the absence should still be counted.
