• Course Policy

All students are expected to abide by the code of conduct of students (The Senate Legislation
of Federal (TVETI) throughout this course. Academic dishonesty, including cheating,
fabrication, and plagiarism will not be tolerated and will be reported to concerned bodies for
action. If you need to read it you can get a copy (to be copied by yourself) of it from your
academic advisor. Class activities will vary day to day, ranging from lectures to discussions.
Students will be active participants in the course. You need to ask questions and raise issues.

Cell phones: Cell phones MUST be turned off before entering the class as they are disruptive
and annoying to all of us in the class. So please make sure your cell phone is turned off before
entering the class.

Note on class attendance and participation: You are expected to attend class regularly. I
will take attendance on random days during the semester to ensure that students are coming
 to class, and if you miss class repeatedly, your grade will be affected. I will not allow you
enter if you are late more than five minutes. You are responsible for all class announcements
and changes. All issues discussed in class or derived from other sources (where I provided
you to read) may be the subject of assignment or exam question items.
