Course Policies

Attendance

For undergraduate courses:

“Students who miss more than one-fifth of the sessions of any course prior to the withdrawal deadline can be withdrawn from the course by the instructor.”

For graduate courses:

“A student who is absent without excuse for more than one third of the number of sessions in any course may be dropped by the instructor of the course”.

Credit Hour Policy

“This course follows AUB Credit Hour Policy for one credit courses. This course meets twice weekly for 3 academic hours per week. The course also includes independent out-of-class assignments for academic hours per week.”

Submissions and Due Dates

Homework problems will be assigned and graded frequently. Students are encouraged to spend plenty of time working on homework problems and to discuss their solution with each other and the instructor. However, each student should write and submit the homework individually.Due dates will be strictly enforced. No homework is allowed to be presented after the due date.

Missing Projects/Assignments

Any student cheating on an exam, whether copying someone else’s work or helping someone to copy their work, will receive an F grade.

Final Examinations:

Please note that students are expected to be on-campus and available to take a final examination for any of their courses at anytime during the final examination period. Students and professors will be notified of the final examination schedule being posted on the Office of the Registrar website as soon as feasible after the change of schedule period (drop and add).

Make-up Quizzes and Exams

All students must take exams as scheduled. Failure to take an exam during the assigned period will result in a grade of zero on that test unless the student has personally contacted me personally and received permission from me to be absent from the test.

Group Work

Information concerning the course may be sent by the instructor to students by email or through Moodle. Students are responsible for keeping AUB email accounts functioning properly.

Teaching Strategies and Technology Tools

Any student whose name appears on the class list and stops attending classes and exams without officially withdrawing from the course will receive a failing grade “F”.
