7. Course Policies Labs: Lectures and labs are integrated and they complement each other. To pass this course, the student must pass the lab-component of the course. Course Website & Participation: Students are required to periodically check the Blackboard (Bb) and download course material as needed. A common Bb will be created and used for communication and interaction, posting and submitting assignments, posting grades, posting sample exams, etc. It is expected that you get benefit of the discussion board by raising questions or answering questions put by others. You will be rewarded for your active participation and the usefulness of the material you share with other students.

8. Course Policies Attendance: Regular attendance is a university requirement; hence attendance will be checked at the beginning of each lecture and lab. Late arrivals will disrupt the class session. Hence, late attendances may be considered as one absence too. Every unexcused absence leads to a loss of 0.5% of total grade. Missing more than 6 lectures or three or more unexcused labs will result in a DN grade without prior warning. To avoid being considered as absent, an official excuse must be shown no later than one week of returning to classes. No makeup of homework, quizzes or exams will be given. Re-grading policy: If you have a complaint about any of your grades, discuss it with the instructor no later than one week of distributing the grades (except for the final). Only legitimate concerns on grading should be discussed.
