Course Ground Rules

Homework, Assignments, Quizzes and Exams

• Each assignment should provide the name of student and student ID number (or names if it
is a group assignment), the name of the course and course number, semester number and
instructor’s name.
• Present problems in sequential order; indicate beginning and the end of each problem
• Class members are expected to submit original work.
• Late homework assignments will not be accepted unless the instructor is coordinated with in
advance.
• If your assignment is not turned in when it is due, it will lose 10% in grade value for each late
day up to one week. After one week, assignments will not be accepted for any reason.
• For group assignments, please submit only one copy of the assignment with both students’
names on it.
• Class members are expected to attend class sessions and to be prompt.
• Class members are responsible for material reading assignments and practice problems.

Class Preparation and Participation:

Reading assignments are given for each class session. You are expected to come to class
prepared to discuss the readings and the suggested questions. Your individual class
participation and class assignments will contribute to your grade. For this reason, class members
are urged to be considerate and respect their colleagues by observing silence during lectures

CENG-CC-03
Approved: November 2024

(no whispers, talking, gestures that will distract other students. Instead students should focus
their minds on the ongoing class discussions and be ready to gain class participation marks that
may significantly contribute to your quiz grade). The following points should be noted:

• Class members are expected to attend class sessions and to be prompt.

• Class members are responsible for material reading assignments and practice problems
• Oral Quizzes will be given from time to time

Case studies
Case studies will be given for which students (team size: 4-5) are expected to analyze case
studies and and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions. The theme of the case study
will be based on some of the contemporary topics on maintenance engineering or maintenance
management.

General comments
• This class requires each student to dedicate time to perform all necessary activities – class
attendance, homework assignments, visits to the companies, assessment of facilities
planning-related shortcomings and inefficiencies that he/she observed during each visit, term
paper, preparation of presentation and reports, etc.
• Students will be expected to work in groups where necessary (unless an assignment has
been specifically instructed as individual). Under these circumstances, students may be
asked to complete a team member performance evaluation for the other group members. All
team members are expected to contribute similar amounts of work to achieve team goals.
The evaluation provides the opportunity for student feedback on this “division of labor” within
the group
• In accordance with Article 6 of the Student Code of Conduct at Qatar University, academic
violations include a range of actions, one of which pertains to submitting work that is not the
individual's own production. This includes using creative artificial intelligence tools such as
ChatGPT to produce content, images, videos, or programming code and presenting it as
original work. Therefore, students are cautioned that using artificial intelligence tools such as
ChatGPT or any similar tools to produce academic content and present it as their own work
is considered plagiarism, exposing the student to disciplinary penalties as stipulated in Qatar
University's Student Code of Conduct. In light of this, we urge all students to adhere to ethical
standards in all assignments and academic work, and to seek guidance from the course
instructor when unsure about the proper and ethical use of artificial intelligence sources in
completing assignments, duties, and academic tasks."
