Policies for
Lecture and Laboratory
 |
There is no late policy for homework
assignments and lab reports; late assignments and reports are not
accepted. The course material and laboratory work in EEE251 builds
on itself, so be careful not to fall behind. Catching up is extremely
difficult, especially as other coursework picks up mid-semester. |
Attendance
| Attendance, Discussion and
Contribution (ADC): Attendance is very important to learn the topics in a timely
manner. It will be forced by taking attendance.
|

Question: Why is attendance
taken? Answer: It is taken for ... |
-
YOU
- You can learn the topics in class in a shot time
in a timely manner.
If you ask questions, and make some contributions to the course, you
improve your some personal skills, like public speaking and
self confidence, and as a consequence you feel good about yourself. You
don't feel guilty and worry for not being in class. You are noticed by your instructor and
may get his reference later, ....
As a result of all these, if you feel good about yourself (and
others), you produce good results.
-
People
who cares about you, and pays your tuition
-
Your
friends - The number of students in class and their contributions affect
the quality of the lectures
-
Your
instructor - Attendance may affect the morale of the instructor
and the quality of the lecture

| My
Algorithm for Explaining Attendance Policy and
Solving Attendance Problems
The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly
(İyi, Kötü ve Çirkin)
v 0.2
The GOOD GUY Algorithm:
if your course attendance > %70,
and if your final cumulative grade is near the boundary of a letter
grade
{ You may get a higher letter
grade; // This depends on how near the grade is
if you have
asked some questions
and made some small contributions to the course,
you
generally get a higher letter grade;
}
The BAD GUY Algorithm:
if your attendance < %70
and if you could not get good grades,
you cannot take the final exam and you get NA;
if your attendance < %70 (even your attendance may be 0 %) and
if you get good grades in midterms, homework assignments, and labs
{ that's very good,
congratulations, you have learned what this course teaches or
you already know
the course topics, you can get the final exam;
(After the final exam) if your final cumulative grade is near the
boundary of a letter grade,
I do nothing Good or Bad, you get what your cumulative grade deserves;
}
The UGLY GUY Algorithm:
if you have spoiled the classroom atmosphere a couple of times
during the semester by some misbehaviors
{ if your behaviors can not be tolerated, an
official action is taken;
if your final cumulative grade is near the
boundary of a letter grade
I
do nothing Good or Bad, you get what your cumulative grade deserves;
} |
Academic Integrity
| We will be very careful in
grading the projects, homeworks,
exams so that everybody
gets the grade that he/she deserves. Copying will not be tolerated and will be checked and punished rigorously.
The Fatih
University has a very strict policy on
academic dishonesty. All work on homeworks and
examinations must be strictly individual. Violations of this policy will
result in an F grade for the class and may result in suspension/expulsion
from the university.
You must do all of the homework
assignments for grading individually (and the exams, of course).
In preparing the solutions for assignments, you may consult with
other students, the teaching assistants and myself regarding the general
method of solutions. However, the final submission handed in for grading
must be your own work. Copying the solutions of others is expressly
forbidden. Allowing others to copy your solutions is expressly forbidden.
Penalties for violation of this will range from a grade of zero on
the assignment, a reduced grade for the semester, to a grade of F for the
course, and a letter to the Office of the Dean.
