• If ALL of the instructions in the lab manual are followed very carefully and in the correct order, the project box should work properly when powered up and tested, after the construction is complete.
• If the project box fails one or more of the functional tests performed by the instructor after each phase of construction, it means the student did not follow all of steps in the lab manual correctly and/or the quality of the mechanical or electrical construction was not up to the standard required in this course.
• Any sub-quality work or errors or mistakes made during mechanical construction, circuit board construction or final electrical wiring phases, which cause one or more project box functional tests to fail, will result in a reduction of the grade for the respective phase.

Attendance:

• Attendance in each class is required.
• At the beginning of each class, the instructor will make a roll call of all the student names to check the attendance.
• Any lateness MUST be reported to the instructor by the students before the class is dismissed.
• A name without on-time attendance nor reported lateness will be considered as absence.
• 2 lateness will be considered equal to 1 absence.
• Final perfect attendance score will be 10. Each lateness will lead to ½ point loss, and each absence will lead to 1 point loss in the final attendance score.
• Being absent for more than 3 times or being late for more than 6 times in a semester may result in a WU or F grade during or at the end of the semester.
• Any absence due to emergencies (e.g., emergency medical condition or no-fault legal crisis) needs to be notified to the instructor by email or in-person.
• Excused absences can ONLY be considered with signed explanatory notes from proper party with proper authority.
