COURSE POLICIES
I. Attendance



Regular class attendance is expected for all students at the University. You are not required but advised to attend all classes.
Please sign the attendance sheet when you come to the class. Any false signatures will result in zero participation grades for all parties
involved.
Your absence will not reduce your attendance rate if and only if you have a legitimate reason for missing a class (such as illness, death in
family, a traffic accident, etc.). In case of an illness or emergency, you must supply a formal documentation that supports your claim.
II. Make-up Exams
Make-Up for the Final Examwill be available if and only if you have a legitimate reason for missing the exam (such as illness, death in family, a
traffic accident, etc.). In case of an illness or emergency, you must supply a formal documentation that supports your claim.
III. Late Submission Policy
Late submissions will be graded zero. There will be no make-up for laborotory assignments. Missed assignments will result in a grade of zero
(0).
IV. Cheating & Plagiarism
Collaboration is strongly encouraged; however, the work you hand in must be solely your own. Cheating and plagiarism are very serious offenses
and will be penalized accordingly by the university disciplinary committee.
Cheating has a very broad description which can be summarized as "acting dishonestly". Some of the things that can be considered as cheating are
the following:
- Copying answers on exams, projects and lab works,
- Using prohibited material on exams,
- Lying to gain any type of advantage in class,
- Providing false, modified or forged data in a report,
- Plagiarising (see below),
- Modifying graded material to be re-graded,
- Causing harm to colleagues by distributing false information about an exam, homework or lab.
All of the following are considered plagiarism:
- Turning in someone else's work as your own,
- Copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit,
- Failing to put a quotation in quotation marks,
- Giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation,
- Changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit,
- Copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not.

V. Disability Support
If you have a disabling condition which may interfere with your ability to successfully complete this course, please contact Dr. Aslı Bugay (email:
asli.bugay@tedu.edu.tr ) or Dr. Tolga İnan (email: tolga.inan@tedu.edu.tr). For more information please see Handbook for Registered Students.
