COURSE POLICIES
1. There are four exams three long exams and one final exam. Each exam is multiple-choice
type and is worth 40 points. The lowest exam score will be disregarded and the exam average
will be computed from the three highest scores. (see Course Requirements above)
2. A grade of 4.0 means conditional. If a grade of 4.0 has been incurred but the student failed to
pass at least one Long Exam, he/she must retake the course. Otherwise, he/she you will have
to take the removal exam within a year. The removal exam is a fill-in-the-blanks type having
30 items covering the course objectives of the semester. The exam is composed of both
conceptual and numerical questions. No partial points are given in each item.
3. There is NO FORCED DROP. Lecturer will only give the student a grade of DRP upon
receiving the processed dropping form. Otherwise a grade of 5.0 is given.
4. The deadline for Dropping is on September 7, 2010 (Tuesday) and for Leave Of Absence
(LOA) is on September 21, 2010 (Tuesday). A student granted a LOA will only be given a
grade of either DRP or 5.0. A grade of 5.0 is given if the LOA is granted after of the
semester has lapsed and the student's class standing is failing; otherwise a grade of DRP is given.
