Important Points to Remember
1- Home-work: The homework assignment is to be solved completely by the students. A quiz based
on the material related to the homework and the material of the lectures will be given on
Wednesdays, following the homework assignment date.
2- Lab. makeup: No lab. makeup will be allowed without an official excuse.
3- Attendance: According to the university regulations, any student that exceeds 20% of the
scheduled class meeting without an official excuse will receive a grade of WF in the course.
4- Lecture notes: Many lectures are not covered by the textbook, therefore students are encouraged to
take class notes regularly.
5- Official excuses: All official excuses must be submitted to the instructor no later than one week of
the date of the official excuse. A late excuse may not be accepted by the instructor.
