Attendance and Class Participation:

Regular attendance is required at all class meetings. Checking of attendance will be done before the class. Students who come late after checking shall be marked late.
Three (3) late marks will correspond to 1 absent. A score of 100 points will be given for a perfect attendance while each absence would mean a 5 points deduction from
this score. Unexcused absences of more than 20% of the required number of meetings per term could mean a failing grade. Every student is encouraged to participate in
classroom discussion. This will serve as a gauge on whether the student is coping up with the lessons or not.

Examination:
The student is responsible for all the lessons covered in class as well as all examinations (quiz or term examination). No make-up or special examination will be given
except for those with valid reason such as sickness. A medical certificate or similar document will be required before a student is given a special examination.

Recitation:
Graded recitation shall be announced with its coverage. A student is given two chances to answer. If on the first call he/she cannot answer, he/she just say “pass” and
he/she shall be given the chance to answer on the next round. If on the second round he/she still failed to answer a score of 10 points is given just for being present.

 Academic Dishonesty:
Academic dishonesty includes acts such as cheating during examinations and plagiarism in connection with any academic works including research. Such acts are
considered major offenses and will be dealt with in accordance with the NEUST Student Manual.
This is not to discourage students from studying in groups but actually encouraging them to discuss homework with their classmates as a rich source of the learning
process. Copying other’s work constitutes plagiarism and is totally unacceptable. By doing so, a student does not increase his/her understanding and is being dishonest.
This is to emphasize that efforts should be exerted in the preparation of a student’s academic works.

Design Submission Guidelines:

All design submitted after the official submission deadline, established by the subject teacher, will be graded as 0% unless a letter for extenuating circumstances is also
submitted after the deadline and subsequently accepted as valid. If there are valid reasons for you to submit your design late you must submit a letter for extenuating
circumstances which should be received by the subject teacher or to the chairman of the department up to 1 week after the design submission deadline.
The extenuation circumstances letter can be written or type written signed by the students or his/her guardian.
Design left on the table of the subject teacher or put under the door or even handed to a member of the department will not be receipted or submitted for marking.
