| GRADES Letter grades will be based on logical break points in the class distribution, but will be no lower than A for 90% or greater, B for 80% to 90%, C for 70% to 80%, and F for less than 70%. For borderline cases, I reserve the right to consider such things as consistency of scores, class participation, perceived effort, attendance, etc. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES AND CONDUCT Students are responsible for all material announced/presented in class or sent by E-mail. E-mail will be used to distribute class announcements, corrections to assignments, etc. Regular attendance to class is expected. Make-up activities will be at the instructor’s discretion. A student may be dropped for excessive absences or unsatisfactory work (see Student Academic Regulations). Incidents of cheating, dishonesty, copying, etc. will be subject to penalties including partial or full loss of credit, course failure, etc. Expectations of students are specified in Student Academic Regulations. Seek the instructors’ guidance on what is acceptable collaboration, etc. You are responsible for writing your own assignments and for preventing others from copying your work. All forms of academic dishonesty and other misconduct will result in a grade of zero for the assignment and other penalties (including failure of the course) at the discretion of the department! The department can also recommend expulsion from the university to the Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs. EXAMINATIONS The exams will closed book and comprehensive (e.g. exam #2 may include material also covered in exam #1).. The final will be comprehensive. All significant steps to answers must be shown. All answers must be shown in appropriate units. A review sheet will be distributed before each exam. Note sheets will be allowed in the exams as specified on the review sheet. Make-up exams will be at the instructor’s discretion. They must be arranged PRIOR to the scheduled test date, except in the event of emergencies and sudden illness (which must be documented by the student). If no prior arrangements are made, the missed exams will receive ZERO CREDIT. The questions on a make-up exam may be different than those on the regular exam. The final exam will be given at the time scheduled by the registrar unless all students and I agree to a change. Make vacation and employment plans accordingly. QUIZZES Ten minute quizzes may occasionally be given at the beginning of the class period. These will be announced during the immediately preceding class. If prior arrangements are not made and approved, missed quizzes will receive ZERO CREDIT. HOMEWORK Homework will be regularly assigned (typically one set per week). It must be turned at the beginning (first five minutes) of the class period for which it is due. LATE HOMEWORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AND WILL RECEIVE ZERO CREDIT. If you cannot attend class, the homework must be turned in early for credit. Solutions to the homework will be available on file in the library. You may work together on the homework, but the solutions must be substantially your own. Incidents of copying will result in zero credit on the entire assignment for everyone involved and may result in other disciplinary action at my discretion.. The homework sheets must be 8(1/2) x 11 inch pages and must be legible, neat, and stapled together (e.g. pages torn from a spiral notebook and pages with extraneous material on the back will not be accepted). The first page must show your name, course number, and assignment number at the right-hand top (an example is shown below). All solution steps must be shown in a logical sequence. Answers must be shown in appropriate units. Failure to follow these instructions will result in reduced credit. The lowest NONZERO regular homework score will be dropped (any scores for quizzes, laboratories, and special homework or project assignments will not be dropped). |
