6. Course Policy
All students are expected to abide by the code of conduct of students (article 166 and 166.1.1, of the Senate
Legislation of Bahir Dar University May 20, 2005) throughout this course. Academic dishonesty, including
cheating, fabrication, and plagiarism will not be tolerated and will be reported to concerned bodies for action.
Class attendance and participation: You are expected to attend class regularly. I will take attendance on
regular days during the semester to ensure that students are coming to class, and if you miss class repeatedly,
your grade will be affected as it has value. If you miss more than 85% lecture and tutorial and 100% for
laboratory class attendance you will not sit for final exam.
