Legends:
Strong: Strong attendance requirement may entail significant portion covered in the lecture and/or in-class participation problem
Moderate: Moderate attendance requirement entails significant lab activity. Students must be present for at least one hour of the class-time period. Skipping two moderate classes in succession will result in -5% off of one of the active assignments. If you continue skipping the moderate class, the penalty points will increase. For example, consider the following scenario:
Moderate Class: 8th Feb 8th March 27th March April 12th
Attendance: miss miss (-5%) miss (-10%) miss (-15%)
However, if you have already finished the active assignments on that day, you will not be penalized. Although, you are encouraged to attend the class and help the professor with debugging. Such students will receive extra credits for that lab at professor's discretion (not to exceed 10% of the lab assignment grade).
Recommended: Recommended attendance requirement entails that students have the option of performing their work outside of the class, as long as they are confident in performing the required task on their own. If students feel that they may need debugging assistance, they should attend the class. Additionally, exceptional students that come to this class and assist the professor with debugging will receive extra credits for that lab at professor's discretion (not to exceed 10% of the lab assignment grade).
