Grading and course policy: There will be only one make-up exam. It will be after the finals and it will cover everything. Try not to miss the exams! If you miss midterm exam, final exam and Project Presentation you need to contact me within three days after the exam. You need a valid excuse (a medical certificate) for you to qualify for a make-up. Attendance is recommended. NA grade will be given in one of the following circumstances: 1. Students who do not attend 70% of the classes 2. Students who do not give studies and reports 3. Students who do not attend Project Presentation, Mid Term 1 and its make-ups. Students who have NA degree are not eligible for make-up examination of final
exam at the end of the semester/year.

Study assignments are to be submitted on due date. Late submissions will not be accepted. Your work must be original. Duplications from past years or cheating will result in a 0 for your project grade. The same is true for study assignments. Teamwork is an integral part of establishing successful engineering projects. Therefore students are encouraged to form groups of 5 students. The team is expected to work together and act as a team.
