4 POLICIES AND PROCEDURES: Although every attempt will be made to adhere to this schedule of classes & topics, from time to time, topics and assignment deadlines may have to be adjusted to accommodate deadlines in other courses. Professionalism is a very important aspect of working in any design field. Therefore, Langara's Code of Conduct, which parallels standards of behaviour acceptable in the workplace, will apply to all classroom situations. (Follow the Policy links to No. B3002 on the Langara website.) Another aspect of professionalism is timeliness. Accordingly, projects should be submitted on time. Late projects are treated in this way: Submitted on the date due, but some hours after the deadline: -5% Submitted one day late (weekends count as 2 days): -10% Submitted more than one day late: the project may be reviewed by the instructor but may not receive a passing grade. A doctor s note is required for any illness which causes you to miss a quiz, assignment, project or exam. The instructor shall decide whether the work can be made up or whether a pro-rated mark shall be assigned for the course work. If a scheduled class is cancelled due to instructor illness, this will not be posted on the classroom door. The College policy is to post such notices on the web portal: mylangara.bc.ca.
