Academic Honesty
All your work must be your own unless collaboration has been
authorized. Plagiarism in
any form, however, is academic misconduct. This includes copying
of entire assignments,
/report/article/papers or portions of
assignments//report/article/papers written by
someone else without citing appropriate references. Suspected
academic misconduct,
including plagiarism or violations of computer usage policies
will affect your grade and
may be ended up with F grade. Your grade will be based in large
part on the originality ofyour ideas and your written presentation
of these ideas.
Students are asked to bring calculator and other stationery
items to the class.
The due dates for the class assignments are to be followed as
scheduled and absence in the
class is not an excuse for delay in submission. Assignments will
be evaluated out of twenty
marks. If personal contingencies, college/cultural activities,
or other circumstances compel
absence in class on the date of submission of an assignment,
ensure that it is submitted
earlier.
Attendance
75% minimum required

Class Participation
o Quality of the class participation is most important. Sheer
quantity is neithersufficient nor necessarily desirable.
o High quality class participation is thoughtful and includes
comments that add toour understanding of a situation and help move
class discussion forward.
o High quality class participation is supported with qualitative
and/or quantitativeanalyses.
o You need to be present in class in order to receive a strong
class participationscore. Tardiness is a hindrance to class
discussion and a distraction for your
colleagues. Please be on time.
