ETHICAL RULES WITH REGARD TO THE COURSE (IF AVAILABLE)
Attendance:
Class attendance is required and crucial for your success in this course. After three unexcused absences, the
student’s grade will be affected. Any students who have poor attendance and/or miss an exam without a valid
excuse will receive a ‘R’ grade. If a student misses a class; it is the student’s responsibility to gather the
information missed from reliable classmates. It is not the responsibility of the lecturer to keep the student
informed of what takes place during his or her absence. Don’t forget the effect that this lack of participation
has on the student’s development in the class.
Tardiness is disruptive to the class and also has an effect on your performance in the class. After 10 minutes,
you will be considered absent for that day.
Academic Honesty:
All students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the highest standards of academic
integrity. Cheating, plagiarism and misrepresentation will not be tolerated at any stage during your studies at Yasar
University. The sanctions to be imposed for committing any of these violations, up to and including failure in the course
will be determined by the instructor.
ASSESSMENT and EVALUATION METHODS:
Final Grades will be determined according to the Yaşar University Associate Degree, Bachelor Degree and Graduate
Degree Education and Examination Regulation
