The final can be used to replace any of the other three scores (quizzes and homework combined is one) and this will be done automatically if it improves your grade. The final will be the makeup examination for any missed exams.

Quizzes will be given at times to be selected by the instructor that will not be announced in advance. Usually the quiz is given at the start of class and will be subject to a time limit. The lowest two quizzes will be thrown out when calculating the grade. This is to allow for contingencies such as illness and doctor appointments during the semester.

Homework:
Regular homework assignments will be used to reinforce the concepts and techniques covered in the text and class. All homework will be evaluated and will count as 5% of your final grade. The homework should be neat and contain the problem statement, theory and solution. Each team should be prepared to present any of the homework problems when they are due. Assignments should be on engineering paper or computer paper, stapled and flat (do not fold). Late homework will only be accepted in the event of illness or an emergency and must be approved by the instructor. Homework grading will focus on whether your have made a serious attempt to work the problem - not that you have obtained the correct answer. Please show your work.

During examinations all books, mobile phones, and notes are to be left along the wall at the front of the room. Only the allowed calculators, a one page 8.5x11 inch cheat sheet (one side), and the textbook with no inserts are allowed.

These are the same calculators that are currently being allowed in the Fundamental of Engineering (FE) and Professional Engineering (PE) exams. It is your responsibility to get acquainted with the features of the calculator you decide to use. I recommend that you use this calculator for all your work (including other courses) since this will help you learn how to use all the features of your calculator

Class attendance is not required, however the student is responsible for all material presented. Material presented in class periods the student does not attend should be obtained from other students - not by coming to the instructor. My experience is that students who do not work assigned homework prior to class do poorly on tests.

Students are expected to be above reproach in all scholastic activities. Students who engage in scholastic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary penalties, including the possibility of failure in the course and dismissal from the university. "Scholastic dishonesty included but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, any act designed to give unfair advantage to a student or the attempt to commit such acts." Regents' Rules and regulations, Part One, Chapter VI, Section 3, Subsection 3.2, Subdivision 3.22. Since, scholastic dishonesty harms the individual, all students, and the integrity of the university, policies on scholastic dishonesty will be strictly enforced. In short, cheating will not be tolerated.
