Comment: The objectives of the lectures are to explain and to supplement the text material. Students are responsible for the assigned material whether or not it is covered in the lecture. Students who wish to succeed in this course should read the assignments prior to the lecture and should work all homework and practice assignments. You are encouraged to look at other sources to complement the lectures and text.

Homework Policy: The completion and correction of homework is a powerful learning experience; therefore:  Homework is due one week after assignment unless otherwise noted, no late homework is accepted.  Possible revision of homework grades may be discussed with the grader within one week from the return of the marked homework  The homework grade will be based on the average of the assignment grades.

Note:     

Recitation session is important part of this course and attendance is strongly recommended. Check UMmoodle (webcourse.umac.mo) for announcement, homework and lectures. Report any mistake on your grades within one week after posting. No make-up exam is give except for CLEAR medical proof. No exam is given if you are 30 minutes late in the final exam. Even if you are late in the exam, you must turn in at the due time. Cheating is absolutely prohibited by the university. Please refer to “Rules on Handling Student Academic Dishonesty” for detail.

Student Disabilities Support Service: The University of Macau is committed to providing an equal opportunity in education to persons with disabilities. If you are a student with a physical, visual, hearing, speech, learning or psychological impairment(s) which substantially limit your learning and/or activities of daily living, you are encouraged to communicate with your instructors about your impairment(s) and the accommodations you need in your studies. You are also encouraged to contact the Student Disability Support Service of the Student Counselling and Development Section (SCD) in Student Affair Office, which provides appropriate resources and accommodations to allow each student with a disability to have an equal opportunity in education, university life activities and services at the University of Macau. To learn more about the service, please contact SCD at [email protected], or 8822 4901 or visit the following website: http://www.umac.mo/sao/scd/sds/aboutus/en/scd_mission.php
