Course Evaluation Practices:

Please note that the following practices are agreed to by the 
professors teaching this course. We want to encourage behaviours that 
will help students be successful in the workplace, and to ensure that 
students receive credit for their individual work.

1. For submission of assignments and projects, the professor will 
   specify, in writing:
	a) due dates and special instructions for submissions
	b) deductions for overdue submissions
2. All assignments must be completed as individual efforts unless the 
   professor states otherwise in writing.
3. Tests must be written as scheduled by the professor. A makeup test 
   will only be provided to students who have an acceptable 
   explanation for their absence, or students who provide acceptable 
   documentation, such as a medical certificate, explaining their 
   absence. These special situations must be arranged as soon as 
   possible with the professor. There may be limitations on timing for 
   makeups.
4. A student must average at least 50% on the tests combined in order 
   to receive credit for this course.

N.B. Steps to appeal grades and evaluations are found in the 
     Student Handbook.
