12. Course Policies

·        Instructor’s Expectations:

o   Students are expected to be well prepared for working in the class

o   Students are expected to attend classes regularly and take notes

o   Students are expected to focus in class and ask questions at appropriate times

o   Students who disrupt the class in any case may receive penalty on their participation marks, including leaving/entering the classroom while the lecture is taking place

o   Students who use class time to do assignments or projects of other classes may receive a penalty on their participation marks

o   No cell phones are allowed in class unless specifically directed by the instructor

o   No calculators are allowed in class unless specifically directed by the instructor

o   Students who use cell phones or calculators without permission of the instructor may receive penalty on their participation marks

o   Participation marks depends on student class activity. Students are getting participation marks for answering challenges in class (5 %) as well as responding to drill questions (5 %).

 

·        Student’s expectations:

o   The instructor will reply to student emails sent via Outlook. Students can expect a reply within 24 hours of the instructor receiving an email. However, this does not apply on weekends or holidays. For example, an email received at 5:00pm on Thursday may not be answered by the instructor until Sunday

o   The instructor will provide students with feedback on every assignment/assessment submitted on a timely basis

               

·        Submission Requirements:

o   Instructors are not obligated to give make up examinations or other make-up work if a student misses a test or fails to complete assigned work, whether or not the absence is excused

o   No cell phones, notes, textbooks, or calculators are allowed during quizzes/tests/exams, unless specifically permitted by the instructor

o   No makeup quizzes/test/exams will be given

o   Late projects receive zero mark. Manage your load so as to keep to the set deadlines

 

·        Attendance Requirements:

o   All absences will be accounted, whether excused or not 

 

·        Attendance Taking:

 

Attendance will be recorded from the beginning until the end of our scheduled class time. The process includes calling out students’ names, downloading the Teams class roster after each class session, checking the chats for the #here hashtag next to students’ names, and other modes of verification. At AUBH, attendance means that students respond to prompts in a timely manner. Students’ camera must be always open, otherwise the student may be marked absent

 

Students are required to attend all classes punctually. If a student is 3-9 minutes late, the student will be counted as tardy. Every three incidents of tardiness will count as an absence from one class. If a student is 10+ minutes late to a class or leave early, she/he will be counted as absent, but she/he will be welcome to attend class so that she/he does not miss out on the content covered in the class

 

If a student misses a class, she/he is responsible for catching up on all the content covered in class, and she/he is responsible for completing any assignments or readings given in class

 

·        Please refer to the following applicable policies in the Student Handbook

o   Attendance

o   Plagiarism
