a. Prelim Grade- (5%) (Assignment) + (10%) (Recitation) + (50%) (Quizzes) + (35%)[(Checkup exam + Prelim Exam)/2]
b. Midterm Grade- [(Prelim Grade)+ (TMG)/2]; where :TMG= (5%) (Assignment) + (10%) (Recitation) + (50%) (Quizzes) + (35%) (Midterm Exam)
c. Final Grade = (Midterm Grade) + 2 (TFG)/3; where TFG = (5%) (Assignment) + (10%) (Recitation) + (50%) (Quizzes) + (35%)[(S-Final Exam + Final Exam)/2]

COURSE POLICIES
(Requirements)
A. Attendance Procedure: Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class. Students are expected to attend every class. Students are responsible for all
materials covered during any absence and assignments must be completed by the due date for credit. The absence of four or more lectures and/or labs will result
in a “DROPPED” grade. Missed exams will require proof of extenuating circumstances for any make-up consideration;
B. Absence due to illness: if you are sick, DO NOT ATTEND THE CLASS. Contact the instructor by email, telephone, or cellphone to discuss how will you keep up with
the coursework assignments and complete the tasks assigned.
C. Methods of Instruction: Methods will include lectures and demonstrations that discuss the terms, concepts and formulate of the assigned chapter. During the
lecture a quizzes about the basic concepts of each chapter will be given. The student is expected to read one chapter and solve the assigned problems each week.
This will require an average of five hours of study outside of the classroom each week. The previously assigned problems will be collected for grading and the
solution will be derived in class. This process is designed to help the student thoroughly understand the conce3pts and applications of the material covered.

D. Academic Honesty: All students are expected to behave with academic honest. It is not academically honest, for example, to misrepresent another person’s
worlds or ideas as one’s own, to take credit for someone else’s work or ideas; to cope and paste material from another document or from the internet, to accept
help on a test or to obtain advanced information or confidential test materials or to act in a way that might harm another students’ chance for academic success.
When the instructor believes that a student has failed to maintain academic honesty, he or she may be given an “F” grade, either for the assignment, quiz,
examination, or the course depending upon the severity of the offense.
