Midterm Feedback: Midterm feedback for this course will be available from the instructor by March 3. After reviewing
their marks to this point, students should make an appointment with the instructor to discuss their progress and
concerns if the cumulative total to this point is less than 50%. The instructor is also available prior to this in designated
office hours if students have any concerns.

The RDC Final Examination Policy will be followed with respect to Final Examinations. Please review this document to
ensure you understand the contents and implications of the policy. EET225: Electrical Design 2

Final grades will conform to the letter grade system, as outlined in the College Calendar.

It`s student responsibility to be aware of assignment and project due dates.

Attendance requirements: The faculty of the Department believe that students are committed to their program and
learning experiences. However, it is understood that there are times when students may be absent from those
experiences. Any absence can be viewed as a potentially serious disruption of the learning process and necessary
achievement of the learning objectives. It is the student's responsibility to make up any missed coursework in lectures or
labs. Extra assistance will only be given to students who have attended all classes and labs.

Attendance is required for all exams and quizzes. Any student who, due to extenuating circumstances, will be late or
absent must notify the instructor before the start of the exam or quiz. Failure to notify the instructor indicates a serious
breach of professional and ethical conduct. Valid documentation will be required for missing any assessment. In most
cases, make up activities will not be available.

Late or missed assignments: Assignments submitted one or two days late will be subject to a penalty of 5% per day.
Assignments submitted more than two days late will not be accepted, and will receive no grade.

While students are encouraged to help each other, assignments must be individual work, unless designated as group
assignments. In cases of plagiarism, no marks will be awarded. Please refer to College policy on Academic Misconduct
for other possible disciplinary action.

Academic Misconduct:
Please become familiar with what constitutes academic misconduct, as well as the consequences. Plagiarism involves
submitting work in a course as if it were the student’s own work. Plagiarism may involve the act of submitting work in
which some or all of the phrasing, ideas, or line of reasoning are alleged to be the submitter’s own but in fact were
created by someone else. The complete policies are available on the RDC Policies web site: Appeals: Formal Policy,
Appeals: Informal Resolution Policy and Student Misconduct: Academic and Non‐Academic Policy.

Changes to the Course Outline: Changes to the course outline will be made with the consent of the
course instructor and students. Changes will be reviewed by the Department Chairperson for
consistency with College policies.
