If you are absent for a quiz, presentation, or any other assignment deliverable, you will not be given a chance to retake the quiz, or deliver the assignment, unless there is a genuine medical reason, for which a medical certificate would be required.
Class Participation
Class participation is an integral part of this course, and all students would be observed and evaluated on their engagement and participation in class. This includes timely completion and submission of class lab-based assignments, as well as timely practice of tasks that are given by the instructor in class. Practicing what has been taught every day is very important.
Class Participation
Relevant and constructive comments, questions, and observation during class discussions would also add value to this course. Participation also includes active listening, which would contribute to your learning.
Giving irrelevant or inappropriate comments, or trying to distract the class, may negatively affect your participation grade. You will be cold called as well, so please be prepared at all times.
Cell phone/Laptop use in class Cell phones should be switched off or kept
silent at all times during class. Any student seen using a cell phone will be asked to leave the class, and will be marked absent.
