1. During Test
---------------------
it is not allowed to talk
it is not allowed to use mobile
it is not allowed to use an external website
It is not allowed to use a calculator unless instructed
It is not allowed to share a calculator if the calculator allowed
2. Excuses
---------------------
Excuses are NOT accepted for absences from class because the total number of hours, we meet, is less than 65 hours (40 hours lectures and the remaining 25 hours for tests/quizzes), which is low. You are given 12 hours to use towards any emergencies that come on your way during the semester.
Attendance will be taken at every class, first 15 minutes, and all students are expected to attend regularly. Any student who comes after the 15 minutes of starts, will be marked absent with or without excuse. Some exceptions are applied to certain students with 30 minutes maximum late.
How does the professor react when students dismiss themselves with or without an excuse from class early?
I care for your learning and staying to the end of class. Some students don't want to come early or stay to the end of class. They don't care about learning. I feel it is my duty as a professor to manage the class in a way that would maximize the students' learning, and that included having students come to class. If a student leaves the lecture, there is obviously a reason for it. What that reason might be, can be a strong or weak reason, in both cases, the student will be marked absent.
4. Leaving Class Early

5. Late Homework
--------------------------
When a student submits homework late, How does the professor calculate late work?
The following attendance guideline is per PMU’s Student Handbook: http://www.pmu.edu.sa/PDF/Viewer.aspx?ID=179
Attendance and participation in all class sessions are essential to the process of education at PMU. Students benefit from lectures and discussions with their instructors and fellow students. Lateness or absence hinders progress for the individual and the class and affects the performance. A regular student should attend all classes and laboratory sessions. Whenever a student is not in a class, the student is considered absent even if the absence is excused. A student may be discontinued from a course and denied entrance to the final examination if his or her attendance is less than 85% of classes and lab sessions assigned to each course during the semester. A student who is denied entrance to an examination due to excessive absences will be considered as having failed that course.
6- Warning
-----------------
The University guidelines (page 10 in the Student Handbook) for lateness and attendance are as follows:
• The specific application of the attendance guidelines is at the instructor’s discretion. In general, however, the following guidelines apply:
1. If the student misses 5% (3.75 lecture hours) of sessions, the student will get a 1st warning letter.
2. If the student misses 10% (7.5 lecture hours) of sessions, the student will get a 2nd warning letter.
3. If the student misses 15% (11.25 lecture hours) of sessions, the student will get an administrative
withdrawal from the course.
• In the event, a student misses 15% (11.25 lecture hours) of the sessions in a class for any reason, the instructor may initiate withdrawal of the student from the course. If approved by the dean of the student’s major, the withdrawal is implemented.
• Instructors need not give substitute assignments or examinations to students who miss classes.
• Three occasions of lateness count as one absence. Lateness is defined by the individual instructor.
