CLASS POLICIES:

All homework must be submitted before the start of the class. Late submission of homework
will not be accepted.
All tests are closed book and notes.
No student will be allowed to take the Final Exam without the Examination Permit.
Please be reminded that the University has a strict policy against cheating.
To maintain order in the classroom all are enjoined to turn their mobile phones to silent
mode whenever they come to class. Failure to do so resulting in the disruption of classes
and/or exams shall subject the student to strong reprimand from the instructor.

COMPUTATION OF GRADES:
MG = 45%ME + 10%A + 45%Class Performance (quizzes, seatwork, homework, etc.)
FTG = 45%SFE + 10%A + 45%Class Performance (quizzes, seatwork, homework, etc.)
LEC = 1/3 MG + 1/3 FTG + 1/3 FE
LAB = 2/3 EXP + 1/3 PROJ
FG = 3/4 LEC + 1/4 LAB
