Student performance will be evaluated to determine whether the student has fulfilled the passing requirements. This evaluation comes in various assessment components ranging from written tests (online and offline), group and individual assignments, oral presentations, projects, lab work, etc.\u00a0 The courses’ syllabi can be found on the learning management systems at http:\/\/mylms.dau.edu.sa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These syllabi contain detailed information about the course contents and assessment methods and components in each course.<\/p>\n

Grades<\/strong><\/p>\n

The minimum passing grade in any UPP course is “D”. All courses will be included in the cumulative grade point average (GPA), except English courses in the elementary level.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Class Attendance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Attending classes on-time and for the full period of the class is compulsory.\u00a0 However, a student who misses a class or part of it for a valid reason\u00a0which is accepted by the Department of Student Affairs will be excused.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Plagiarism<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many resources, particularly on the World-Wide Web (‘the Web’) that the students are expected to explore and use.\u00a0 One of the reasons the Web has grown so quickly is that anyone can publish (almost) anything on it.\u00a0 This raises a number of problems, however, particularly\u00a0in relation to\u00a0the issue of copyright.\u00a0 It is very easy to find information, images, audio and video files on the Web.\u00a0 Students can easily save these and incorporate them into their own material.\u00a0 This ease of copying means people often make the mistake of assuming that everything on the Web is freely available. This is not the case and students should be aware of what is acceptable and not acceptable in this approach.<\/p>\n

As a general guide, we expect students to use the Web as a resource to find information, and to work together to discuss findings and develop an understanding of issues.\u00a0 What we do not<\/strong> expect\u00a0is students to directly copy from the work of others – this is known as plagiarism<\/em>; it is not acceptable, and will be penalized.\u00a0 Students will find that there are many pages providing what may seem at first to be ready-made\u00a0solutions to their assignments.\u00a0 Teachers are also aware of this, and there are tools\u00a0which allow us to easily search for phrases from\u00a0a student’s assignment to see if they occur in other documents published on the Web.<\/p>\n

Students need to rewrite in their own words<\/strong> any material they find, in order to demonstrate their understanding.\u00a0 This is what their teachers will look for.\u00a0 This does not mean that students cannot quote from others to make a point, but where they have done so, they must clearly acknowledge their sources.<\/p>\n
