Examination
Exams will cover the material discussed in classes and included in the assigned readings, notes and
assignments. Students are advised to take the exams as announced. Make-up exams will not be given
except for valid and documented medical or family emergencies. I have the full discretion in making
decision in this regard. Where late assignments are accepted, I will apply a late penalty. If you do not
have a valid reason for missing an exam, you will receive a grade of zero on that exam.

Quizzes
There will be two announced quizzes. Best one will be considered.

Assignment Policy
I will provide you some assignments (individual and group) shortly. You are encouraged to submit
your assignments as attachments via e-mail (monir_537@yahoo.com). But don’t forget to provide
your student ID as the name for your assignments.
