Otherwise the value of the homework or test will be worth 50% of its original value. The assignment or test is considered LATE IF you arrive in class late and the assignment has been collected or students have started taking an exam, or at a later dat e unless you have talked to your instructor prior to the due date. Late assignments will not be accepted two weeks after their due date. If an assignment is worth 50 points and it is turned in late, the maximum number of points that you will receive is 25. Please make sure to let your instructor know if there will be a problem with the due dates of the assignments and make an arrangement by talking to your instructor in class or leaving a message in the voice mail.Attendance Policy: The student will also be expected to spend an average of 3 or more hours per week working on course projects, sometimes in the classroom or in a laboratory setting. Attendance will count towards your grade (10%), so will participation in class discussions. Please, be sure to attend all classes, in the case of sickness or emergency please contact the instructor (writing a note, voice mail or e-mail) prior to the class meeting. Your attendance will count towards your attendance/participation grade. Late arrivals or if you miss a class but you had contacted your instructor prior to the class meeting will count 50% (0.5 points). 0 points will be given if you miss a class completely and did not advise the instructor. One point when you attend the class fully. These points will be averaged for your Attendance and class participation grade. The total attendance will be worth 100 points.
