Homework and quiz

  1. Homework sets are due one week after they are assigned. 
  2. Homework must be submitted in sets, arranged in order as in course outline.
  3. Homework must be written on quadrille 8½ x 11 engineering pad, one side only. Sets must be stapled together in the upper left hand corner.
  4. Homework problems should done using the “Given and Find” format and all equations should be defined symbolically prior to calculating any values.  DO NOT HAND IN class notes or scratch work.
  5. I will collect homework at the beginning of the class. Since I post the solutions of the homework on the course web page, late homework is not acceptable.
  6. Homework and quiz will be graded. I will drop two lowest homework/quiz grades in determining the overall homework grade.

  

Attendance

Class attendance is mandatory. Please be on time for classes, late entry distracts the whole class. Good attendance may help in improving your grade.  If you miss any laboratory, test or final exam without prior permission, you will receive zero credit for that item. In extraordinary circumstances, when such prior permission is impossible to obtain, I expect you to contact me at your earliest for rescheduling your laboratory, test or final exam. I scrutinize your excuse before rescheduling.

 

Laboratory

·        Your safety and safety of those around you are of prime importance.  Efforts have been made to reduce the hazard in the lab as much as possible.  Follow all posted safety policies. 

·        All lab reports should written using MSWord.  Reports are graded on your presentation. Is the material presented in a logical way? Can all the required results be found with ease? Are the results discussed intelligently in a good technical language? Your depth of understanding, discussion and conclusion will carry more weight than production of right numerical answer. 

·        Due dates for laboratory reports will be announced in the class.  Laboratory reports handed in after the due date will incur ten percent deduction in marks for lateness. Laboratory reports late more than two weeks will not be accepted. 

 

University Policy on Academic Integrity will be upheld, and any violation will be brought to the attention of the Dean of student
