Class Rules

Attendance 

It is recommended that students attend all scheduled classes in order to succeed in the unit. ISB policy requires students to sign the follow-up attendance book before entering the classes. 

Class attendance is compulsory and students should provide reasons as well as evidence for not being able to attend the class on a particular lecture/workshop session. Students are required to attend a minimum of 80% of all classes in order to secure class assessment marks and be able to sit in the final exams. Please let your lecturers and / or ISB officer know by submitting a Request form for leave of absence and supporting evidence if you are unable to attend any session. 

Arriving late by 15 minutes in the beginning, arriving late by 5 minutes after the break, or leaving prior to the scheduled end time without permission from the lecturers will equate to an absence. Grade reductions for the unit will be assessed when final grades are assigned if the above absence rule is violated during the unit. 

Electronic device 

Cell phones or other electronic devices should be turned off or switched to vibrate mode before class starts. No phone calls or text messaging are allowed inside classroom during class time. Portable listening and/or music devices may not be operated in the classroom. Headphones and/or earbuds of any type may not be worn while in the classroom whether operating or not. Laptop and other electronic devices are not permitted unless specifically authorised by the lecturer exclusively for note-taking and doing classwork. If you are in violation of these policies, you will be excused from class and an absence will be assessed.
