- Classes begin on time. If you come late, you are going to disturb other students. For this reason, you will be penalized for a late arrival and you may have additional difficulty in catching up. It is advisable that you arrive at least five minutes in advance.
- Absense from class would not affect your grades seriously if it does not exceed once in a semester, but repeated and / or consecutive absense may result in failure. Also, repeated late arrivals may adversely affect your grade or possibility for obtaining credit.
- 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.
