Course Notes Course Principles/Expectations:
Course Duration and Entry/Exit: This course is conducted in the classroom for three hours per week. There will be no classes during the midterm exam week. Therefore, the course will continue actively for 13 weeks. If the course dates coincide with official holidays or if the instructor's conferences, seminars, etc. coincide with class days, make-up classes will be provided. Classes will start on time and will be conducted for three hours. I kindly request that you arrive on time. If you cannot make it to the first class, you should wait for the second class. After the class begins, I kindly request that students who wish to enter the classroom after me wait until the break. Similarly, I will not be able to admit students who arrive after me after the break.
Attendance/Participation: Students may be absent from class for 3 weeks due to illness or personal reasons. Attendance will be taken from the first week onwards. The midterm exam week is not included in these 3 weeks. Active student participation in class is expected.
Illness or Emergency Notification: You can send an email or leave a message to Research Assistant Meryem Karacan to explain your illness or emergency. This includes serious surgeries or the death of a first-degree relative. Other situations will not be considered valid excuses.

Classroom Discipline and Rules to be Followed in Class
Use of Computers and Mobile Phones in Class: Please silence your mobile phones during class. Constant texting or talking on the phone will distract me and your classmates, so I kindly request that you silence and put away your mobile phones. If you have an urgent phone call from your family due to illness or other reasons, you can inform me and ask for permission. Otherwise, entering or leaving the classroom will not be permitted. Other matters: You must not talk to each other or make noise during class. If you have attention deficit or hyperactivity disorder, you can inform me and ask for my understanding. You may bring drinks to class; however, I kindly request that you dispose of your cup or bottle in the trash can when leaving the class. Academic integrity, collaboration, and plagiarism: Studies are expected to be conducted with utmost sensitivity to academic ethical rules. Copying, plagiarism, and similar violations of academic ethics can lead to consequences that jeopardize both your course and overall student status. Special Circumstances and Students with Disabilities: Ibn Haldun University offers equal educational opportunities to students with disabilities in campus life, education, teaching, and assessment activities. Having a disability does not prevent you from passing this course. If you have a disability, please inform your department advisor. Your disability will be communicated to me through a written request submitted via the department head. For example, if you have a visual impairment, there is no problem with using a voice recorder in my class. Furthermore, in similar disability situations, a reader will be assigned to you for your exams.
