Questions or concerns regarding absence and lateness should be directed to the section recitation instructors. In general, please reach out to the engineering professor, writing professor, and recitation TA for your section as far ahead as possible to inform them of lateness or an absence. EG-UY1004 refers to the Office of Student Advocacy to verify excused absences. Please refer to the Office of Student Advocacy website for information on excused absences. For long-term accommodations, please contact the NYU Moses Center for Accessibility.

Lab Policies

Students must be on time for each lab session. Students will not be admitted more than 15 minutes after the lab has begun. To address a lateness of 15 minutes or more, or absence from a lab session entirely, students can complete a makeup lab.

To make up a missed lab, fill out a makeup lab request on the course website within two weeks of the missed session. To do this, log in to your eg.poly.edu account. On the left, click Makeup Lab, and fill out the necessary information. After the form has been submitted, the engineering and recitation TA will review the request.

If the form is approved, visit Open Lab while the form is valid. A TA will confirm the approval and provide assistance. Note that students who complete makeup labs are ineligible for competition extra credit points, and that students whose makeup team lab reports must complete the report and presentation individually.

The makeup presentation and report must be submitted to the EG website within one week of completing the lab. As the presentation will be graded outside of recitation, your presentation must include speaker notes of what would be covered while presenting.

Recitation Policies

Students are expected to attend recitation regularly and arrive on time. The following penalties will apply depending on the degree of lateness:

  • Students will receive a zero if they miss their presentation unless they inform their section engineering professor ahead of time.
  • Students will receive a 20 point penalty on their presentation grade if they are up to ten minutes late to recitation unless they inform their section engineering professor ahead of time.
  • Students will receive a 50 point penalty on their presentation grade if they are more than ten minutes late to recitation unless they inform their section engineering professor ahead of time.

An excused absence will result in the student receiving the grade obtained by their teammates that week.

Lecture Policies

Students are expected to attend lectures regularly and on time. Without a valid excuse, there is a grace period of five minutes following the start of lecture; after this time, students will be admitted, but no credit will be awarded.
