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

grade. You will be cold called as well, so please be
prepared at all times.

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
