HW and Quizzes:
A homework set will be posted for each chapter. There will be a quiz after posting the solution of each
HW. Additional HWs/quizzes might be given whenever needed.

Project:
A design project will be assigned after the 3rd quarter of the semester. More details will be given then.

Attendance:
A student is allowed a maximum of nine unexcused absences before he deserves a DN grade. The first
two unexcused absences will be counted but will not be penalized. Starting from the 3rd absence, the
student will be penalized by -0.5 points for each unexcused absence. To avoid the penalty, only official
excuses will be accepted. Attendance will be taken at the start of the class. If a student enters the
classroom while attendance is being taken, the student will be marked “Present”. Otherwise, the
student will be marked “Late”. However, if the student is more than 10 minutes late, he will be allowed
to attend, but will be marked “Absent”. It is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor at the
end of the class session to be marked “late” in the attendance sheet. Three “Lates” are equivalent to one
“Absent”.
Important COVID-19 Precautions (General Guidelines):

1. Students are required to follow the instructions of the Ministry of Health to protect
themselves and others around them by taking appropriate precautions. Each person is
responsible to observe the following instructions while he/she is in the academic buildings or on
the student housing campus:

a) Wear masks properly at all times.

b) Maintain social distancing.
c) Wash hands regularly.
d) Avoid shaking hands with others.
e) Do not share your things (pens, calculator, notebooks, etc.) with others.
f) Avoid gathering outside classrooms, cafeterias, etc.
g) Isolate yourself from others once you feel any of the COVID-19 symptoms, including fever,
muscle pains, coughing, etc.
h) Students are advised to bring their own hygiene kits for ease of use.

2. It is the responsibility of the student to immediately inform Student Affairs

(saffairs@kfupm.edu.sa) if he/she is infected with the COVID-19 virus during the semester or
his/her status changes in “Tawakkalna” application. Failing to do so will be considered a
sizeable violation that will lead to suspension from classes and potential termination, in
addition to the applicable government disciplinary measures.
