Each an unexcused absence will result in a deduction of one-quarter a point (0.25%) out of the final score. Only official excuses are accepted. A DN grade will be immediately reported when student’s absences exceed one-fifth (1/5) of the total class hours of the course.
Laboratory: The experiments to be covered in this course can be found in the course lab manual. The format of the lab report should be followed. The lab report must be typed using Word and not be hand-written. The lab report must be turned in within two weeks from the day we do the experiment, unless otherwise decided. Delaying submitting your report on time will result in a deduction of two points for each day. No make-up is possible for missing labs.
