Class Meetings:

  Attendance is an academic requirement. You are responsible for whatever is done in class,
whether or not you attend. In particular, you are responsible for the timely submission of 
all lab work homework assigned in class.

  While attending class, students are required to conduct themselves in an academically,
professional manner. Students are expected to arrive on time. While in class, students are to
maintain proper academic decorum by not engaging in talking with fellow classmates or other
disruptive activities. Any student engaged in disruptive activities will be subject to academic
discipline; including, lowering of their final grade and/or expulsion from the class.

  All Cell Phones and Beepers must be turned off before coming to class!

Lab Work and Homework Assignments:

  There will be approximately 12 labs and homeworks assigned throughout the semester. 
Each assignment will be graded. An assignment must represent individual, and not
collaborative, work. Copied assignments will result in a grade of zero on that assignment for
all parties involved. Together, lab and homework assignments will count for 1/3 of your
grade. Each assignment will have a "Due Date". Each assignment is due on the "Due Date" at
the start of the class meeting. Any assignment submitted after the class meeting on the "Due
Date" is considered late. There will be a penalty for lateness of 10% per day (that is per day,
not per class meeting!!).

Examinations:

  There will be two exams. Together, the exams will count for 1/3 of your grade.

Final Examination:

  There will be a cumulative final examination, which will count for 1/3 of your grade.
