- If you are absent from a session, you should submit your homework the next time. However, submitting homework does not suffice to completely make up for your absense.
- No term-final exam will be given for this class. Grades are given based on your attendance, participation, contribution and other factors. Attendance does not mean just being physically present in the classroom. You have to participate seriously in the activities and do your best in assignments.
