c. Written Examination
d. Course Portfolio
e. Language of Instruction
Lectures, discussion, and documentation will be in English. Written and
spoken work may receive a lower mark if it is, in the opinion of the
instructor, deficient in English.

Honor, Dress and Grooming Codes

All of us have been instructed on the Dress and Grooming Codes of the
Institute. We have all committed to obey and sustain these codes. It will be
expected in this class that each of us will honor the commitments that we
have made.
For this course the Honor Code is that there will be no plagiarizing on
written work and no cheating on exams. Proper citation must be given to
authors whose works were used in the process of developing instructional
materials and learning in this course. If a student is caught cheating on an
exam, he or she will be given zero mark for the exam. If a student is caught
cheating twice, the student will be referred to the Prefect of Student Affairs
and be given a failing grade.

g. Consultation Schedule
Consultation schedules with the Professor are posted outside the Physics
Faculty room

Aside from academic deficiency, other grounds for a failing grade are:
Cheating during examinations
More than 20 % absences of the total number of meetings in a
quarterm
Failure to take the final examination with no valid reason
