Additional Notes



Morality (or proper behavior), which defines right and

wrong by the society, philosophy, religion, and individual

conscience.

Students and their instructors often make ethical choices

reflexively/ But ethically sensitive situations, where time,

emotions and marks are pressured, it becomes all too easyto be blind-sided by temptation/ The best antidote to

ethical lapses is to commit in advance to a set of ethical

principles - your personal ethical code that follows or

grows to it.

Any difficulty or concern during the course should be

passed directly to the course coordinator.

Makeup Exams It is applicable when an acceptable and valid excuse is

presented at the applicable time

Drop Dat N/A

Cheating

It is unethical and illegal by any means JUST regulations will be applicable

Attendance It is mandatory for all lectures

Absenteeism To receive course credit, a student should attend aminimum of 90% of the contact hours of the class.

Students who are absent for the lecture must contact the

course coordinator prior to the class.

If absent from lectures, then the course coordinator will

refer to related guidelines set by the university.

Any student who is absent on a test day, will have to

demonstrate an acceptable medical or social statement

explaining the illness or personal crisis as instructed by

their faculty.

Individual instructors may accommodate by arrangementsfor a make-up test only when a written request is sent to

and approved by the Dean.

Students withSpecial needs

Any student who feels that s/he may need accommodation

for any type of disability is encouraged to contact the

course coordinator who will be happy to help in any way.

Accommodations to the course plan can be tailored to the

needs of specific individuals after consultations with thedean.

Participation All students are highly encouraged to participate in the

classes.

Individualconferencingandconsultations

The course coordinator is always available to talk with the

student when problems arise.

If you have any problems that require the attention of an

instructor, do not wait until the problem is

insurmountable.

If a student must talk with the course coordinator after

office hours, an appointment can be made for that time.

Do not allow tension to build-up to unsolvableproportions.
