CONDUCT
Attendance Policy
Because of the number of hands on exercises and team participation required
in this course, students are required to attend all classes. Twenty points
will be deducted from the student's final grade for each one hour of class
time missed. A student will receive a grade of F if he /she misses more
than 12 hours of class time. It will be the student's responsibility to
obtain all information missed. Tardiness to class will result in the equivalent
of a one hour absence for every tardy.
Makeup Policy
If a student should have to miss an exam, it will be the responsibility
of the student to arrange for a makeup. The makeup exams will not be the
same test given on the regular exam date. A student who fails more than
one of the three exams will receive an F for the course. A 10 percent
penalty will be assessed for each day an assignment is late.
Course Format
This course will use a combination of lecture and problem-based learning
as its modes of knowledge discovery. It will be the student's responsibility
to learn based on problems presented. Most of the problems will be solved
by team participation. Some classroom discussion periods will be used
to clarify what is to be learned.
