SUBJECT REQUIREMENTS
 Student basic info and I.D. picture: 3 x 5 index card
 Problem Sets as Final requirements at the end of each Lesson Unit/Chapter covered
 Summative & Quarterly Exams

CLASS POLICIES

I. Policies on Class scheduling and Attendance: Late & Absences

 Attendance will be recorded and may be included in the Performance task aspect of the student’s grade.
 Students that will not be able to attend the class because of valid reasons may be given Handouts and/or Modules prior to the class
and will not be considered absent during the class.
 For F2F classes only: coming in 20 minutes after the class has started is considered late (>20% of the lecture hour).
 3 counts of late attendances will be equivalent to 1 absent.
 Students are allowed only 8 absences (excused/unexcused) during the whole semester. Students exceeding the no. of allowed
absences will automatically be given an additional activity as requirement at the end of the semester.
 II. Excuses
 Absents due to sickness, accidents, death of close family member/friend, natural disasters, religious commitments, and other valid
emergencies.
 Missed quizzes and assignments due to excused absences will not be included in the student’s total quiz and assignment scores.
III. Submission of Course requirements
 Late submissions of Assignments and Problem Sets will be allowed 24 hours after the deadline but will only be given a maximum score
of 75%.
 If the student is not able to submit due to valid reasons, he/she will be allowed to submit late when he/she returns to class.
IV. Exams
 Exams will be scheduled by the school admin.
 Special Exams may be given if the student has a valid reason for not taking the exam. However, the student must accomplish a written
notice to the instructor.
