Course Policies: Method of Evaluation (Tests/Exams, Grading System):

Grades will be based on the following scale: Grades will be based on the following 90-100% A 80-89% B Exams/Quizzes 50% 70-79% C Assignments 20% 60-69% D Labs 20% Below 60% F Final Project 10%

Participation (or Attendance) I do not take attendance. You paid money to be here so be here. It is your responsibility to show up and do the work. Participation is critical in your development and improvement.

Incompletes An incomplete grade may be given to a student who, by the withdrawal date, can reasonably be expected to pass the course. Incompletes may be granted only when justified by extreme circumstances (e.g., serious illness, accident, death or serious illness in the immediate family). Incomplete grades are not given for such reasons as unjustified failure to appear for the final examination. A written agreement, outline the requirements to be met, must be signed by the instructor and the student. The agreed upon requirements must be completed no later than the end of the following semester (spring semester for incompletes granted during the fall, and the following fall for incompletes given during the spring and summer semesters). By the agreed upon date, the instructor will assign a grade or the incomplete will be changed to an ‘F’ if the requirements are not completed.

Midterm Withdrawal Students are expected to attend all classes and meaningfully participate each day. Any student who does not make reasonable attempts to successfully complete all course activities (exams, homework, quizzes, etc.), may be withdrawn from the course at midterm. However, if any of the following situations apply, the student will be automatically withdrawn by the end of week 8:  was absent for any 2 consecutive weeks without appropriate notice

 has more than 5 unexcused absences

 Did not complete at least 60% of assignments Extra Credit No none.

Missing an exam and assignments policy Homework and Labs must be turned in on time. If late work is to be accepted it must be approved by instructor prior to due date. Only if you have an exemption from me, confirmation by voice or email, prior to the exam will I consider allowing you to take it at a different time.

Deadlines Unless otherwise stated all homework will be due the class period after it was assigned.

Specifications for written materials: Please see “My policies” at the end of this syllabus for more specific information. Documentation is an important part of this course. All labs are to include descriptive comments within the write- up/answer section relating to each lab. The final project will require technical support of the constructed project. Students will be expected to read assigned selections from the textbook and or labs, articles or other course related materials, at a minimum of 25 pages per week. Estimate is based on a 16 week course schedule. Please note if your class is not a 16 week class your weekly reading assignment will be increased.

Syllabi disclaimer Instructor reserves the right to amend the Course Calendar. Amendments will be in the form of an updated Course Calendar and/or email.

My polices: Fall 2016 Electronics 103 AC To avoid confusion and problems for all of us, this is a supplemental policies sheet used in conjunction with the syllabus. 50% of your grade comes from tests and quizzes. . If there are 4 quizzes or more given I will drop the lowest one. If we do not have 4 quizzes I will not drop the lowest quiz. You must be present at all exams and quizzes. I will not allow you to make up a test or quiz. Only if you have an exemption from me, confirmation by voice or email, prior to the exam will I consider allowing you to take it at a different time.

Exam 1 = 20% Final = 20% Quizzes = 10%

20% of your grade will come from homework assignments. Assignments must be turned in on the date due, unless otherwise stated the homework assignment will be due the following week it was assigned. The following must be done in order for the assignment to be accepted: o No torn up paper, no spiral paper o Must be completed in either pencil, or black, blue ink. o It must be legible. Meaning, readability, grammatically, and numerically o In upper right hand side the following must appear . Name . Date assignment is due . Chapter and question numbers o You must show every step in your solution of the problem. If there is no work shown the entire assignment will not be counted. o Some assignments may be given in excel and you will be required to finish in excel. Special notice will be given for these assignments.

20% of your grade will come from labs. Labs must be turned in on the due date, typically the date of the exam in which it was used to prepare for. No lab will be allowed after taking the exam in which it was used to prepare for. You will not be allowed to make up a lab if you miss it. See me prior to an absence concerning the lab, same policy as exam policy. Every lab, unless otherwise stated, must include a lab write up. See Appendix D of lab manual for the Lab Report Preparation. o Lab clean up. You are responsible for lab clean up and returning of equipment. If you do not put equipment away and more importantly the components correctly away you will not get credit for that lab. o Your name and date shall be on every lab. o A deduction of 5 points will be included if no lab write is included

10% of your grade will come from a final EXCEL project. If it is not turned in according to the directions and or not submitted on the final due date it will not be accepted.

All answers must be clearly denoted if in doubt it will be wrong! Grades will be based on the following scale: 100 – 90% A 89 – 80% B 79 – 70% C 69 – 60% D Below 60% F NAME:______DATE:______
