Labs: We will cover
eight labs during the course. Your lab grade
is based on the completion of eight labs (200 pts). Labs
will be due at the end of the lab period. Missed
labs may only be made up with a valid university
absence or doctors excuse. DO NOT MISS LAB! They
account for easy points.
Attendance: It is your
responsibility to attend each lecture and lab
period. You can only take an exam outside of the
established exam time when you have scheduled to do
so in advance. If you miss class on exam day, you
receive a zero and that will be the exam score
dropped from your final grade. Each student may only
take one unexcused absence. Each absence after that
will result in a 1/3 letter grade reduction.
Academic Integrity: The
student will receive a failing grade for the course
and will be referred to the appropriate university
officials if caught cheating. Just don't do it.
Disability: Any student
with a disability who requires special arrangements
must contact me as soon as possible.
