manufacturing process

1. “Online Yildiz” system will be used to share document, assign homework, and
collect digital file if it is requested. It is your responsibility to follow it.
2. When necessary, the announcements will be made through OBS, which sends a
mail to your mail account. You must check your e-mails daily in case of an
emergency. The fact that you have not seen the announcement will not be
accepted as an excuse.
Warnings 3. For communication, you must only use your student mail account provided by the
university and my e-mail address “kmdogan@yildiz.edu.tr”. E-mails sent through
other providers (Gmail, Hotmail, etc.) will not be responded to.
4. Collaboratively made HomeWorks will not be accepted. All the HomeWorks must
be prepared individually. Legal sanctions will be applied in case of submission of
the same assignment by different students, or high similarity in unusual mistakes
