Attendance
Attendance will be graded as follows: No absences One absence Two absences Three absences Four or more absences Four consecutive absences 1 1.5 2 3 5 F.A.
Four or more absences will automatically merit a grade of 5. Absences for which a medical or court excuse is provided (professional letterhead required) will be recorded but not figured in the attendance grade. Likewise, one absence for which advance notice is given by phone or in person will not be figured in the attendance grade. Significant tardy and early departure will be marked as absent.
Tasks
Tasks are activities on planning and design of aerodrome. Tasks will be compiled after the completion of the 15 tasks and as instructed by the instructor.
*A portfolio that contains all the activities, e.g. quizzes, major exams, compilation of tasks within the semester is required to be submitted during final examinations. Failure to submit will automatically merit a grade of INC. The instructor will return the portfolio/s during the release of graded class cards.
