• Weights will be multiplied to the z-scores of the requirements except homework.
• Attendance: Minimum attendance of 3/4 class meetings is required.
  • Excuse absences: Please provide related documents for excused absences.
  • Attendance check: It is your responsibility to regularly check your attendance status at the POSTECH Electronic Attendance System.
• No S/U for undergraduate students. A final grade lower than B0 will be converted to U for S/U graduate students.

• Extra-credit voluntary final report:

  • Submit

  1. a ppt/pdf file

  2. a 15-20 min. recorded presentation file

  • Topics for your final report must be approved before the final exam.

  • If the extra-credit final report is satisfactory, then the final grade will be one-step (+,0,-) increased without penalizing other students who have chosen not the submit reports. 

  • No report no penalty.

 Grading Policies 

1. Re-grade requests must be filed in writing.
2. Each sub-problem will be graded usually according to the following scale: 100%, 60%, 20%, and 0%. So, you had better have a complete solution than an incomplete solution.

 Policy on Academic Dishonesty

If the instructor suspects academic dishonesty, the instructor will notify the student(s) and follow the procedure to report to the school without any exception. Students have the responsibility to be knowledgeable about the consequences of dishonesty. 

See, recently published report cover page and academic honesty guide.
