EXAMPLE
"How many absences am I allowed before losing my grade?"
At Kuwait University, you're allowed up to 15% of total lecture hours as absences. For a 3-credit course with 45 hours, that's no more than 6 hours. Beyond that, your professor can exclude you from the final exam. Tell me your course and I'll calculate your exact limit.
