Weighting 25% Midterm Feedback: Midterm feedback for this course will be available from the instructor by March 3. After reviewing their marks to this point, students should make an appointment with the instructor to discuss their progress and concerns if the cumulative total to this point is less than 50%. The instructor is also available prior to this in designated office hours if students have any concerns. The RDC Final Examination Policy will be followed with respect to Final Examinations. Please review this document to ensure you understand the contents and implications of the policy. Final grades will conform to the letter grade system, as outlined in the College Calendar. It`s student responsibility to be aware of assignment and project due dates. Attendance requirements: The faculty of the Department believe that students are committed to their program and learning experiences. However, it is understood that there are times when students may be absent from those experiences. Any absence can be viewed as a potentially serious disruption of the learning process and necessary achievement of the learning objectives. It is the student's responsibility to make up any missed coursework in lectures or labs. Extra assistance will only be given to students who have attended all classes and labs. Attendance is required for all exams and quizzes. Any student who, due to extenuating circumstances, will be late or absent must notify the instructor before the start of the exam or quiz. Failure to notify the instructor indicates a serious breach of professional and ethical conduct. Valid documentation will be required for missing any assessment. In most cases, make up activities will not be available. 4
