Course Requirements: 1. Reports 2. Quizzes 3. Major Exams 4. Facebook and Skype Account (account for class purposes only) 5. Tasks Computation of Grades: Coursework will be weighted as follows: Class Participation Quizzes Attendance Tasks Major Exam Total 20% 25% 5% 20% 30% 100%

Final Grade = (Prelims + Midterms + Finals)/3


Class Participation
Class Participation will be graded according to his/her report and active participations on discussions. Reports must be straightforward and informative. It must present all the information to his/her assigned topic. It must be interactive.

Quizzes
Quizzes will relate to current and previous topics. A quiz may be given at any time during any class period -- immediately after a lecture, at the beginning or end of a class, etc. There will be no make-up quizzes -- none even later during the same class period. Quizzes will be given only to those students who are present when the quizzes are passed out.

Major Exams
Major Exams will be given according to the assigned schedule of the college. There will be no make-up exams -- none even later during the same class period. Anyone caught cheating during exams will automatically merit a grade of 5.

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.
