Explain of evaluation system

  1. About 35% of students: A
  2. About 45% of students: B
  3. About 20% of students: C and below

Further details regarding the letter grade and attendance:
  1. If your total score does not exceed 30%, you will get an "F" regardless of the percentage above.
  2. If you are absent more than five times, you will get an "F."
  3. If you are late twice, you are considered absent once.
  4. The course is specifically designed for freshmen students; hence, absences related to job positions or interviews cannot be accepted as excuses.
  5. Complete your assignments and exams independently. Any instances of plagiarism, whether from fellow students or online sources, will result in an automatic 'F' in this course, regardless of your current standing.
