Course Notes (Policies and Procedures)
Students are expected to conform to BCIT conduct and attendance regulations as outlined on page 2 and 3 of the BCIT full-time programs calendar. Students are expected to attend all the scheduled lectures and labs for this course. Students who are absent for more than 10% of the time prescribed for the course may be prohibited from completing the course. In case of illness or other unavoidable cause of absence or lateness, it is the student’s responsibility to provide reason(s) (ie- a doctor’s certificate) for being absent or late. Failure to give an acceptable reason for missing tests or labs will result in obtaining a zero mark for the missed tests or labs.
Assignment Details
Students will be receiving modules for every topic of the course. It is the student’s responsibility to read the appropriate modules and chapters in the text book and to carry out sufficient problems in the modules, textbook, and the Web-based study guide to achieve the required problem solving skills.
