2. Assessment Procedures: There will be no special tests for quizzes or oral recitations. All assessment methods will be communicated in advance
through the course syllabus.
3. Late Submissions: Timely submission of assignments and projects is essential. Points will be deducted for late submissions, so it is crucial to adhere
to deadlines. If you foresee any challenges meeting a deadline, please contact the instructor in advance.
4. Major Outputs: Students are expected to complete and submit all major assignments as outlined in the course syllabus. Failure to do so may result
in an incomplete grade, which can have academic consequences.
5. Academic Integrity: Plagiarism, which includes copying and presenting someone else's work as your own, is strictly prohibited in all submitted
assignments and outputs. Make sure to properly cite sources and use original work.
6. Compliance with Course Requirements: To ensure a successful course completion, it is imperative that you comply with all requirements stated
in the course syllabus. This includes attending classes, participating in discussions, and completing assignments as specified.
7. Special Examinations: In cases where students have valid reasons for missing major exams (e.g., medical emergencies or documented personal
