a. Class Attendance and Participation:

Class attendance is mandatory (at 80% of classes) to qualify for grading as per university
policy. But I will grade you on the basis of your in time presence. So after taking
attendance of the class (usually in the beginning of the class), there will be no provision
for recording attendance. Your in-time presence will also be considered as positive
class participation.
b. Examination:
Additional Course There is NO provision for make-up of missed classes and quizzes.
29 Expect quiz on completion of each topic.
Policies
c. Assignment and Term Project:
Late submission is not acceptable.

d. Counseling:
