Regulations to maintain the teaching-learning process in the lecture: 1. The course description and course schedule handouts provide the general framework for the course. However, the instructor can make any modifications or changes to the course, depending on the class progress, or on any special circumstance that arises during the semester. 2. English will be used in the course materials. You are assumed at the undergraduate level to read and write in English. Additionally, you must have
the skill in knowing and using engineering terminology in both languages. The final group project report must be turned in types in English (using Word and Excel). However, you can use Arabic or/and English in solving assignments, quizzes, and exams. 3. Individual assignments should be turned in printed clearly. Commitment to present assignments on time. Your assignment should be turned in with your name, course number, assignment number, and homework number on each sheet. Neatness, completeness, organization, technique, and presentation are important and will be considered when grading plates. Assignments that deviate from these instructions will not be graded. 4. Neat sketches should be used when ever appropriate. 5. Student should bring over his tools at all session and exam times, borrowing from others will not be permitted. 6. Attendance is mandatory (You snooze…You loose!). Absence exceeding 15% of total course time will be denied from attending final exam. Regular attendance, the student who absents himself should submit an accepted excuse. 7. Late show up is not permitted, neither early leave before class session is up! Respect of commencement and ending of the lecture time is a must. 8. Cell phones should be turned silent or off and keep focused and quite during lecture time. 9. Positive relationship between student and teacher 10. High commitment during the lecture to avoid any kind of disturbance and distortion. 11. High sense of trust and sincerity when referring to any piece of information and to mention the source. For more information please refer to: htt://www.plagiarism.org/ 12. University relevant regulations should be applied in case the students' behavior is not accepted. 13. Don't refer to instructor's office unless you have questions related to the material presented in class; be brief and precise in presenting your case. Crowding in the office is not acceptable, don’t discuss grades unless for mistakes or errors. 14. There will be no make-over for the first and second exams unless an acceptable cause of absence is presented. Exams will be held during the assigned weeks and for no reason will be transferred to next weeks. Additionally, all exams are closed books closed notes. 15. Students with special needs should inform the instructor, in order to discuss possible ways of assistance.
