Student Evaluation
- Marks
- All marks are on Moodle.
- Please ignore Lea-Omnivox marks.
- Evaluation
-
- Attendance is required both for the lectures and for the labs. Don't be late.
- Academic Calendar
- Absence? If you really must miss any class, you must always let your professor know beforehand.
- Please don't ask me whether there was anything important covered in the class you missed. All classes are important. Everything we do in class is important.
- Please let me know (before the day of the absence) by
- Missing classes will cause you to have a lower mark in the course and perhaps even fail the course.
- "Students have an obligation to attend their scheduled learning activities." (ISEP)
- "Students have an obligation to arrive on time and remain for the duration of scheduled classes and activities." (ISEP)
- "Students have an obligation to respect their teachers' right to formulate and enforce policies on lateness and attendance. Penalties for absences may include failure in the course." (ISEP)
- Weather - You must be mistaken if you think that the weather is really bad today.
If the weather were really bad, the College's Administration would certainly cancel classes for everyone.
Unless the College Website announces a cancellation of all classes, we must all assume that it is perfectly safe for everyone to travel in to the College today.
See you in class.
- Penalty for absences:
- Justified absences require a doctor's certificate signed on the day of the absence.
- "In the case of the medical certificate, it must clearly indicate that an absence on the day and time of the graded activity was justified." - see ISEP
- Religious Holidays
- Please don't ask me whether there was anything important covered in the class you missed. All classes are important. Everything we do in class is important.
- Religious Holidays: Students who wish to observe religious holidays must inform each of their teachers in writing within the first two weeks of each semester. Students will not receive credit for work not performed. It is the student's responsibility to fulfill the requirements of the alternative arrangements. - Institutional Student Evaluation Policy (ISEP).
- You must let me know ("in writing within the first two weeks of the semester") by
- Note that only the "students who make such arrangements will not be required to attend classes or take examinations on the designated days, nor be penalized for their absence". (dgurudata)

- Quizzes = Tests: Anything covered (in class, as homework, in the lab, in the Course Outline, in the Readings & Preparation on my Website) will probably be evaluated in quizzes and will definitely be evaluated in the exams. Quizzes give me feedback about whether you are keeping up to date with the course. Expect a quiz every day.
- If you are absent for the quiz you will get 0% for that quiz.
- If you are late for the quiz you will get 0% for that quiz.
- There will never be a chance to make up for a missed quiz.
- The quiz may be given at any time during the class/lab.
- Beginning: The quiz may be given during the first few minutes of the class.
- During: A quiz may be given to any individual at any time during the lesson. A mark will be assigned for the quality of the response.
Over the course of the term, each student will probably be given several/many individual quizzes during the lessons. This will serve as part of the participation mark for the course.
- Penalty: There will be a (cheating) penalty assigned for any student providing an answer to the student being quizzed during the lesson.
- End: The quiz may be given during the last few minutes of the class.
- Quizzes may be given every class. There is never any warning about any particular quiz. Just assume there will be a quiz every day.
- A Quiz may cover any topic of information that has been covered in class, or that has been assigned for readings and preparations. Anything could be on the quiz. Be prepared.
- Participation = Lab Exercises & Homework & Class work
- Tests = Quizzes
