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. In-class assessments 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.
