9. Rules and Regulations:

Class Attendance and Participation:

According to the University rules, class attendance is mandatory. Students are expected to attend
all classes. Students who repeatedly arrive late to the lecture will be considered absent.
Participation points are given to encourage students’ active class participation and discussion.
Students will be rewarded with a high score as long as they come to class and actively contribute
to the class discussion during recitations and lectures.

Use of Mobile Devices, Laptops, etc. during Class:

As research on learning shows, unexpected noises and movement automatically divert and capture
people's attention, which means students are affecting everyone’s learning experience if their cell
phones, laptops, etc. make noise or are visually distracting during class. For this reason, students
are required to turn off their mobile devices and close their laptops during class.

Academic Integrity:
Students must refrain from copying each other's work or using information without acknowledging
the source of this information (i.e., providing a reference and in-text citation). A Turnitin
plagiarism of 15-20% could result in a range of disciplinary measures ranging from written
warning to deductions of marks from the submitted work. However, if the submitted work exceeds
this percentage, the academic staff reserves the right to open a plagiarism investigation case. At
the initial investigation stage (before any formal allegation of academic misconduct is made) a
decision will be reached about whether the case constitutes plagiarism as opposed to poor
scholarship. Where an initial investigation is conducted, the case will be forwarded to the Students’
Violation Committee to take appropriate actions. If the case constitutes plagiarism, the student(s)
will be given a “0” mark for the entire module.

Late Assignments:
Assignments must be completed and submitted to me by the due date assigned by the module leader.
Failure to submit the assignment by the due date will automatically result in “0” mark given for this
assignment. If a student has an exceptional circumstance, they have to submit a mitigating
circumstances form to the module leader a week prior to the assignment due date. If the form is
approved, the student will receive an extra week to submit their work.
