LEARNING TEACHING METHODS


The function of teaching is to enable students to learn. Therefore students are required to read the chapters of the textbook before coming
to class and solve the related end of chapter questions after each lecture. The instructor will lecture in class by writing on the board and
some lectures will be given as a MS power point presentation.

ASSIGNMENTS
Students will be given at least 2 homeworks. The assignments must be handed in latest on the date specified by the course instructor. Late
submissions will be penalized by 50 percent per day.

ATTENDANCE
Attendance will be taken every lecture hour. Note that university regulations allow the instructor to give a grade of NG to a student whose
absenteeism is more than 25% of the total lecture hours or who do not complete sufficient work.

ACADEMIC HONESTY - PLAGIARISM


Cheating is copying from others or providing information, written or oral, to others. Plagiarism is copying without acknowledgement from
other people’s work. According to university by laws cheating and plagiarism are serious offences punishable with disciplinary action
ranging from simple failure from the exam or project, to more serious action (letter of official warning suspension from the University for
up to one semester). Disciplinary action is written in student records and may appear in student transcripts. This is intentionally failing to
give credit to sources used in writing regardless of whether they are published or unpublished. Plagiarism (which also includes any kind of
cheating in exams) is a disciplinary offence and will be dealt with accordingly.)
I read and understood the rules of the course.
