general guidelines for coursework

CLASS PREPARATION
Each course syllabus provides students with an overview of the topics that will be covered in the course. It is expected that students prepare themselves before they come to class. This includes, for example, reading of relevant chapters in textbooks before the class.


EXAMINATIONS
General rules for taking exams:

1. You should arrive early and bring at least one working #2 pencil with you.
2. No student can begin the exam after the first student has finished the exam and left the room.
3. Students that leave the room for any reason during the exam must first turn in their exam paper for grading!
4. There are no make-up mid-term examinations in this course. If a student is absent from a scheduled exam for any reason and can supply correct and proper evidence (doctor's note, etc.), the student may be allowed to take a special, comprehensive final examination which will cover all the material required in the course.
5. No questions will be answered during the exam.
6. Read the questions carefully before attempting to answer them.

What to Study: Material presented in lectures and material from relevant book chapters. There may be questions in the exams that refer to material only covered in the lectures. Relevant textbook chapters are provided in the syllabus of each course.

How to study: Students are expected to study on a regular basis. It is recommended to form study groups to help each other during the studies.

Students should begin to study early for midterm and final exams. It is recommended to review the material several times during the semester and not to begin studies a few days before the final exam.

Make use of the office hour to get questions answered.

Be present and pay attention during the review sessions!!!

Reviews: If possible, there will be reviews given during regular class hours before mid-terms as well as final exams.
