Explanations
1.The exam dates are as if they were announced on tablature. The topics of the examinations will be announced before a reasonable time. Compensation examinations will be given for examinations that are not entered in the framework of excuses accepted according to the regulations.
2. The final exam covers subjects that have been processed throughout the semester. The final exam day, time and place will be announced by the Deanery.
Rules
1. Continuation: According to the regulation, if a student does not attend 30% of the total course hours, the student counts as absent and fails.
2.Late arrivals: The class is expected not only to arrive but to attend classes on time. Remember that 3 lessons will be counted as 1 full absence. Late arrivals are defined as follows: The lecturer will take class polling and attend class after the first 10 minutes of class
3.Getting help: It is important for your education to ask questions about the class during the lesson or during the meeting hours and to find out what is on the way. We advise our students to get help if necessary.
4.Academic honesty: It is expected that you will have your own endeavors and your work will be the subject of the course. In non-moral situations, such as plagiarism or copying, you will be subject to disciplinary action and necessary criminal sanctions as required by the relevant regulation of the IZU.
The assessments stated in this footing are fixed and no extra compensation measurements will be made for grading purposes.
