Assessment Elements

• In-class assignment

Student who missed a class on a reason will automatically receive zero points for any quizzes and exams that were taken during the class. The student then can change this grade by taking a quiz/test after consulting with the instructor (on the date decided by the instructor) on this matter within a month. If the student does not make up for the missed class within a month, the score “zero” will be transferred into the log sheet and there will be no possibility to change it later.
