Policies and Guidelines
All students should be familiar with the following policies and guidelines that are in place for this course:
1. Although there is no mark for attendance, per se, your assignments will be assessed, to a certain
extent, on the degree to which the concepts and requirements presented and discussed in class are
reflected in the finished product.

2. Homework and in-class assignments cannot be made up. Missed exercises will be given a 0 (zero).
If, however, you are able to provide a physician's note and/or a coherent, valid written explanation (in
proper workplace format), then the 0 (zero) will be altered to reflect an excused absence.
3. All written assignments must be submitted by the specified deadline. Any assignment not handed in
by that time will be deemed late (unless sufficient cause is given), and will be penalized at a rate of
10% per day up to a maximum of 5 (five) days, weekends included. If the assignment is not handed
in after five days, it automatically receives a 0 (zero).
4. There is no late "submission" for oral presentations.
5. In the case of an absence for a group presentation, the remaining members can elect either to
present OR to forfeit their marks. An absent group member is not grounds for postponing a
presentation.
6. Homework assignments can not be handed in late and can not be made up.
7. Group assignments must be accompanied by a memo that outlines the role played by each group
member in the preparation of the assignment.
a. If I am in doubt as to the veracity of the memo, then group members will be examined on the
contents of the assignment and their role in the preparation of the assignment.
