Tests and quizzes will be done usually at the end of a topic or after certain concepts are covered. Failure to hand in assignments on time will result in 1% or 10 % mark (at the discretion of the instructor) awarded to the students for that assignment. Electronic devises are not allowed in class hence teacher s permission. Students are not allowed to leave the classroom without teacher s permission. COURSE POLICIES All graded assignments must be typed in black ink (normal size 12 font, Times New Roman or Arial) or neatly handwritten on loose-leaf paper unless otherwise indicated. Refer to the student handbook concerning academic dishonesty, plagiarism, late assignments and missed tests. An assignment is considered late if it is not submitted within the contact hour on the due date. Assignments submitted on disc or USB pens or via will not be accepted. Students are expected to be prepared for every class with their notebook and textbooks unless otherwise instructed. Students missing a test will be required to provide a medical document or a letter from their parent providing a valid explanation for the absence. METHOD OF INSTRUCTION The approach to instruction and presentation of material will vary depending on the topic and nature of content to be taught. The major methods of instruction to be utilized will be class lectures, group assignments, lab- assignments, visual aids and electronic audio-visual where appropriate and available.
