NB. - There will be no make up for Quiz 1 and Quiz 2. - All students are required to test all technical procedures related to the MATLAB test with the GA’s during the MATLAB clinic hours before the MATLAB test. Attendance will be recorded. Students that miss that initiation will not be allowed to sit for the MATLAB test and will get a grade of zero. - In case of absence for the MATLAB test, a written make up will be mandatory. Missing this make up will lead to a grade of zero. University Policies a.
