*ATTENDANCE POLICY

Kuwait University attendance policy will be observed. A student will be notified after 3 hours of absence. A final warning will be sent at 6 hours of absence, above which a student will be failed in the course.
RETURN TO: TABLE OF CONTENTS

*ACADEMIC AND COURSE POLICIES

1.         Students registering in one section are not allowed to attend another section for any reason.

2.         Homework will be assigned once a week to be collected the following week. No late homework will be 

accepted for any reason. Any submitted homework that contains copied material will receive a 0-C grade. One homework set will be canceled for each student provided he/she did not receive any 0-Cs. Please be advised that in order to pass the course you should take the homework very seriously. You are strongly urged to attempt to solve the homework yourself (you will learn nothing from straight copying). More importantly, most probably that at least one homework problem will appear in every exam.



3.         Start of the first lab sessions will be announced in the class.

4.         The dates and times for the unified examinations are set in the course outline.

5.         Short (10 to 15 minutes) quizzes will be given by the end of each chapter. The quiz is usually related to the homework, drill problems, and the lecture.

6.         Finally, you are expected to conduct yourself in accordance with the university regulations regarding ethics. No cheating in exams and no copying of homework or labs will be tolerated. In the case of copying any problem in a homework set, the following procedures will be adopted:

1.      A student will be notified about copying any problem and will get 0 in the whole problem set, even for problems that were not copied within the set.

2.      A student will get 0 out of the 10% total for homework and no future homeworks will be accepted upon repeated copying within two or more homework sets.
