General:

·       Attendance: Regular attendance at all lectures is expected and should be considered mandatory.  Failure to attend class will affect how well you perform on examinations and will ultimately affect your grade.  Planned absences should be arranged in advance.

·       Cell Phone Usage - As a courtesy to others, please disable all audible cell phone ringers during lectures and laboratories.  Do not take calls during class! All wireless devices must be disabled and stored during all exams and quizzes.

·       Correspondence/Announcements: All messages related to this course will be sent to your FIU mailing address only.

·       Assignments/Materials: will be collected before Monday’s class. 

 

Problem Sets:

·       Problem sets will be assigned weekly.  All assignments are pledged, meaning that the work that you turn in must represent your own efforts.  All assignments in the past week are due before Tuesday’s lecture.  Unless prior arrangements are made, Late Assignments Will Not Be Accepted.

·       Each student must perform his or her own work.  Any work submitted must represent your own effort.

 

Project Reports:

Project will be group-based, two students for one group. The students may ask instructors for finding a group member.

 

Course Grading:

Your final grade will be based on the following:

·       Two/Three Exams (30%/20% each, the third exam is optional): 60%

·       Homework/Problem Sets: 20%

·       Projects and Reports:  20%

 

Grading Scale: A: 95-100, A-:90-95
                          B+: 86-90, B: 83-86, B-: 80-83
                          C+: 75-80, C: 70-75
                          D: 60-70
                          F: 0-60

 

Pledged Examinations and Assignments:

The definition of a “Pledged” assignment means that the work was completed independently, without giving or receiving assistance from another person.

 

Final Grade:

The grade you receive for this course should reflect your own work and efforts. Therefore, the work (examinations, problem sets and other assignments) must be your own.

 

Exam/Quiz Guidelines:

·       All examinations are pledged.  Any collaboration of any kind is unacceptable and will be considered an honor code violation.  During an exam you may not provide aid, help or assistance of any kind.  Further, you are strictly prohibited from sharing any type of information or material such as pens, pencils and or erasers with anyone.  Do not talk to or look at anyone during an exam.

·       A missed examination or quiz cannot be made up and will result in a score of zero.  Any make up examinations will be composed of a rigorous oral and written exam administered by the instructor.  These examinations are only allowed for very special circumstances (i.e. treated illness {by a non-student health services physician}, death in family). Further, the make-up exam is also not guaranteed with the same level of test difficulty.

·       All exams will be closed book and closed notes.

·       Only the non-programmable calculators may be used during exams.   

·       All personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or other wireless devices must be disabled and stored during all exams and quizzes. 

·       No items of any sort may be shared during an examination or quiz. 

·       Hats are not permitted during examinations.

·       Special seating arrangements will be in effect during all examinations.  In order to assure adequate separation between students you may be asked to change seating positions.  Please do not sit near your best friend.  If you are asked to move please do so quickly and don’t take it personally.  Time is always critical on an exam however the exam will not begin until everyone is properly seated.

·       If you are late, you will not be allowed to make up the lost time.

·       Collaboration, copying or cheating of any form on exams or on any assignments is strictly forbidden.  Any suspected violations will be referred to the University Committee for further action. 

 

Special Dates to Remember:

·       The last day to drop a course with DR grade is Monday, November 04, 2019

·       Last day of Fall semester classes December 7, 2019

·       Final Exam, Monday, December 9, 2019
