GRADING

        Final letter grades will be assigned according to the following scale.

                A: 100 ³ Grade ³ 90
                B: 90 > Grade ³ 80
                C: 80 > Grade ³ 70
                D: 70 > Grade ³ 60
                F: 60 > Grade

where Grade = 0.30*MidTermExam + 0.30*FinalExam + 0.25 *(Lab average) + 0.15*(Homework average).

EXAMINATIONS

        There will be two examinations including the final examination. See the schedule below for the dates. Missed examinations can be "made up" within one week of the date of the examination if sufficient justification for missing can be given. Examinations are closed book and closed notes, and the final exam is semi-comprehensive.

HOMEWORK AND QUIZZES

        Homework will typically be assigned and collected on a weekly basis. Selected problems will be graded on each assignment. Solutions will be provided in the Fast Copy Center after the due date. Some homework assignments may involve solving problems on the computer in a programming language of your choice or with LogicWorks. All assignments requiring computer use will be graded. Late homework papers will not be accepted. Quizzes will occasionally be given on days that homework is due. Missed quizzes cannot be "made up."

LABORATORY

        Laboratories begin the first week of class. The laboratory will include an introductory session, and eight laboratory assignments. Please see the schedule below for the dates. If you miss a lab or cannot finish a lab during the designated lab week(s), you may "make up" or finish the lab during one of two makeup weeks (see the schedule below). However, there is 20% penalty unless it was caused by an emergency and prearranged with the lab instructor.

POLICIES

        1. Attendance is expected and will be checked each period. Students having three or more unexcused absences will have their final average reduced by ten points before their final letter grade is assigned.
        2. You are expected to have read the assigned readings by the specified dates. Lectures will review and augment the material in the textbook.
        3. Late homework will not be accepted.
        4. Cheating in any form will not be tolerated. Anyone suspected of cheating will be dealt with according to applicable UTA policies and procedures. It is your responsibility to know University policies on these matters. Sharing your work with another student, even temporarily, is collusion. Copying work from a tutor or solutions from previous semesters is plagiarism. Students will be expected to read and sign the College of Engineering Statement of Ethics.
        5. If you require an accommodation based on disability, I would like to meet with you in the privacy of my office the first week of the semester to be sure you are appropriately accommodated.
