CLASS ROOM POLICY:

• Only assignments and tests submitted on time will be graded.
• Each solution must have proper and appropriate units.
• Makeup tests will be given only under extreme circumstances. It is expected that the
student will contact the instructor sufficiently in advance for a repeat test / assignment
or have sufficient reason that they could not do so.
• Students are required to bring scientific calculators for all the lecture and tutorial classes.
