(1) Attend class on time. Being more than thirty minutes late will be counted as an absence for that hour. If you are absent due to uncontrollable circumstances—such as acute or severe illness, emergencies, or important events—please email the instructor to request leave beforehand and provide valid documentation within two weeks. A medical receipt with an official date stamp from an accredited hospital is considered acceptable proof. School competitions, conferences, interviews, travel plans, oversleeping or forgetting, and any other non-emergency activities are not considered valid excuses. If you are absent from more than three sessions without prior notice, you will fail the course. (2) Being absent from class does not excuse you from knowing the assignments or what was discussed. It is the student’s responsibility to check with classmates or the instructor about any missed content. (3) Assignments must be submitted on time. Late work will not be accepted unless you request an extension before the deadline and receive approval. (4) Cheating, plagiarism, and photocopying textbooks are not tolerated and will result in failure of the course. (5) Please use English as the primary language of communication, even when discussing with your peers.
