Evaluation method and criteria
"Assignment (25%), Midterm exam (20%), Final project (30%), and Small Quiz and In-class activities (25%) are the criteria of the grade. More than 60% of the total score is needed to get the course credit.
<Note>
Students are marked absent from the class if they are late, regardless of the delay time.
If students are absent from more than one-third of the total number of classes, the credit for this course cannot be given to them.
Even though students are absent from the class, whatever the reason, e.g., sickness, delay of public transportation systems, or forgetting to bring the student ID card, it is counted as an absence.
