Class format will include lectures, group discussion, writing and some group activities. In this course, the student will be expected to participate actively in his or her own learning. Both group and individual work will be expected. The student will be expected to read the text or other assigned reading outside of class and participates in critical evaluation of the material through group/class discussion and individual writing. The instructor does not expect students to be passive recipients of information. 5. Textbooks and Learning Material a. Textbook Jewett J.W and Serway R.A. (2010).

8. Attendance For undergraduate students, absence is marked at a maximum of 30% of total class time. .Final dismissals (WA) will be posted at the ADU Student Portal Final Dismissal will not be waived under any circumstances. Office of the Registrar will only accept excuse forms to allow the students for their make-up examinations but absence will not be waived and final dismissals will not be removed from the student's .record Students may wish to continue to attend if they receive a final dismissal in a course but .are not required to submit assignments or take any exams Students will be considered tardy if they do not arrive on time for a lesson or they return late from a break. Tardiness will be counted as a half absence. Instructors have the right to refuse entry to students who are more than 15 minutes late, but if entry is permitted, .students must enter in such a way as not to disturb the lesson in progress Exams/Tests will be repeated when serious reasons similar to the following take place and documented evidence are submitted to the Office of the Registrar on the day student .returns to class Hospitalization, Contagious Disease, Death, may God forbid, of an immediate family member (father, mother, sibling, husband, son, daughter, grandparent), Car Accident, Job Requirement (special assignment), with prior written approval from the Office of the Registrar Al Haj

Undergraduate students who miss their examinations and/or tests will bring the excuse .for their absence to the Office of the Registrar the day they return to class 4 Page

Al Umra .Al Umra trips are not valid excuses for students to be absent Al Haj If the student wishes to leave for Al Haj, the instructor has to be informed in advance. If a mid-term exam happens to be scheduled during that period, the student will have the right for a makeup exam. If a final exam happens to be scheduled during that period, the student will be asked to file an INCOMPLETE with the Office of the Registrar. In this case, the student has to submit evidence that he/she has been to Al Haj (i.e. passport .(showing entry date to and/or exit date from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 9. Academic Integrity The mission of ADU includes developing students sense of ethics, morality, and social responsibility. Students at ADU have the fundamental obligation to conduct themselves with utmost integrity. To ensure an education environment characterized with Academic .(integrity (AI), ADU has revised its Academic Integrity Policy (AIP The revised Academic Integrity Policy (AIP) copies available on the intranet under the link of the Office of Academic Integrity (OAI) has identified violations of AI punishable by serious penalties, including dismissal from ADU. The types of violations identified in AIP, along with the description and examples of each violation, :are 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Cheating Plagiarism Fabrication of data Presenting false credentials Collusion Free Riding

At the beginning of each semester, your instructor will review the essential elements of AIP in class and will describe the intrinsic values of compliance, and the consequences of non-compliance (i.e., penalties) with the Policy. In addition, OAI undertakes a widespread AI Awareness Campaign at the beginning of each semester to educate .students about AI issues and the ways students can avoid violations In view of resources provided by ADU in this regard, all students are expected to strictly comply with the tenet of AIP and conduct themselves with highest degree of integrity and ethical conduct. Students in need of additional information or assistance are requested to .seek help from OAI Failure to comply with the provisions of AIP will have severe consequences, including .dismissal from ADU 10. Miscellaneous Mobile phones: A student whose mobile phone rings during class will be asked to leave the classroom and will receive a half absence. Should this happen 5 Page

during an exam, the student will not be allowed to retake the exam at another time, while at the same time receiving a full absence. Eating/Drinking/Smoking: Students will be requested to refrain from engaging in these activities while in class. Only emails from university-provided email accounts will be recognized and used in this course.
