General rules for the course:

●​ Portfolio: Students will keep the record of their classwork and homework that will be
checked by the faculty at the end of the semester.
●​ Quiz: There will be no makeup quizzes. Two quizzes in two terms will be taken and the
score of all the quizzes will be averaged.
●​ Assignment: Paragraphs will be given as written assignments. Students should submit
assignments on due dates. For each day late, 0.5 marks will be deducted.
●​ Late coming to class: Coming to class more than 15 minutes late will be marked as ‘L’.
Two Ls will be counted as one absence.
●​ Joining the class: Students must join the class within the first ten minutes of the
beginning of the class. Attendance will be taken right after the first ten minutes.
●​ Attendance policy: Students have to maintain an attendance record of 80% throughout
the semester. Students who have more than four unauthorized absences from classes will
be asked to withdraw from the course.
●​ Zero tolerance: The university will show ‘zero tolerance’ to a student adopting any
unfair means (copying in the exam, plagiarism in preparing assignments, etc.).
●​ Make-up Procedures: Students will not be allowed to sit for any make up exam except
for emergency/medical grounds. Applications in this connection must be supported by
medical certificates and diagnosis reports to sit for make-up midterm exams.
●​ Incomplete grade: Students can apply for an ‘I’ (Incomplete) grade only when they are
barred from appearing at the Final exam on genuine medical grounds. Approval in this
connection depends on the discretion of the Department Chair.
