Course Rules
 Course attendance is mandatory; unless permission is obtained
from instructor for missing a class with a valid reason
(documentation needed for medical emergency for student or a
close family member – e.g., spouse, parent, child). Attendance will
be collected every lecture. 5 points will be deducted out of 100 for
each lecture missed without approval.
 Each student will work individually
 Late assignments will not be accepted. All assignments have to be
turned in just after the lecture on the due date
 No make up exams unless student can produce a medical certificate
or give evidence of close family emergency
 Copying material from other sources will not be permitted unless the
source is properly referenced
 Any student who plagiarizes from other sources will be reported to
the appropriate UTD authroities
