GRADING SYSTEM EXAMS 40% Midterm and 40% Final. PROBLEMS 20% Homework problems for a chapter are due no later than the exam for that chapter/s. NO LATE HOMEWORK IS ACCEPTED.

All answers on exams must be supported by correct calculations. Correct answers not supported by correct calculations will not receive credit for the answer. Homework Problems for each chapter are due at the time a chapter test is given. Late problems will not be accepted. . Show the problems that you worked on the first page of your homework. The problems in the “Course Outline” are the suggested problems. You should work as many other problems as it takes so that you feel confident that you can work the problems in each section of the homework list. There are approximately 100 problems at the end of each chapter.

Plant Tours and guest speakers may be scheduled when possible. These will shift the course outline thus eliminating some topics. Each student should take advantage of the computer laboratories in building 9 and 17. Use your account to access PSpice, MATLAB, or Mathcad in the laboratories. Use the many YouTube and the internet sites to hear lectures on the topics being covered in class. Failing to earn at least 60% of the points possible may result in you receiving a failing grade for the course. You must complete all assignments in the course to get a passing grade. A (90-100), B (80-89), C (70-79), D (60-69) Grades will be curved based on class average. GENERAL PROCEDURES You must notify the professor ahead of time if it is impossible for you to meet an assignment deadline. Students who fail to do this will receive an automatic zero for the missed assignment, and they will forfeit the right to make it up. The professor reserves the right to not even to listen to the excuses of those who fail to notify. The final grade report will include + and -. Students with disabilities are encouraged to meet with me during office hours early in the quarter to discuss your accommodation needs during this course

Participation The quality of students’ oral contributions in class may be taken into account by the professor in deciding border-line cases when the final grade is calculated. Attendance Students are expected to attend all classes. Absences for any reason, even if necessary, will seriously damage comprehension of the material. “Getting the notes” will not substitute for attending class. If you are forced to miss a class, ask someone to tape record it or reconstruct the content, but the remedies will not excuse you from anything you missed by not being in class. Ask questions in class.

Academic Integrity The university takes an extremely serious view of violations of academic integrity. As a member of the academic community, faculty, staff, and students are dedicated to promoting an atmosphere of honesty and are committed to maintaining the academic integrity essential to the educational process. Inherent in the commitment is the belief that academic dishonesty in all forms violates the basic principles in integrity and impedes learning.

It is the responsibility of individual faculty members to identify instances of academic dishonesty and recommend penalties to the department chair or college dean in keeping the severity of the violation. Penalties may range from verbal chastisement to a failing grade in the course.

ANY STUDENT THAT VIOLATES UNIVERSITY POLICIES OR REGULATIONS SHALL RECEIVE A GRADE OF F. Cheating on an exam will result in an automatic F for the course.

Plagiarism Oral or written material belonging to another author which is not properly documented and which is represented as the student’s own work constitutes plagiarism. This includes both text and graphics. Any student guilty of plagiarism shall automatically be given a failing grade.

Use Quotation marks to indicate the exact words of another. Summarizing a passage or rearranging the order of a sentence and changing some of the words is paraphrasing. Each time a source is paraphrased a credit for the source needs to be included in the text. See Campbell/Ballou/Slade, Form and Style Theses, Reports, Term Papers, Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, MA. Simply give credit where credit is due. Arrange your bibliography alphabetically by author.
