 Attendance of all lectures and practical sessions is required. Unexcused absence exceeding 25% of the
lectures or practical sessions will disqualify the student from entering the final exam.
2 Tardy:
- Roll will be called in the very beginning of each lecture and practical class. Retardation for more than three
weeks without a reasonable excursion, the student involved shall not be allowed to attend the class any longer and
consequently shall be considered to be absent.
3 Exam Attendance/Punctuality:
 Exam attendance is obligatory unless being excused by the department and faculty.
 Absence from assignments or exams will be dealt with according to the general policy of the university.
4 Assignments & Projects:

 Assignments: Written and oral; Laboratory logbook signed by the responsible demonstrator.
 Projects: Not applicable.
5 Cheating:
 Punishment of cheating will be according to the general policy of the university in this respect.
6 Plagiarism:
 Plagiarism in written essays, reports, etc. is not accepted, and students who plagiarize the works of others
will be punished according to the general policy of the university.
