GRADING POLICIES:
No late homework will be accepted.
CLASS POLICIES:
- All rules relating to academic dishonesty will be enforced in accordance with University policies. Cheating on quizzes, examinations and laboratory assignments, and plagiarism on various papers and reports are types of disciplinary misconduct for which penalties are assessed under the UNT Code of Student Conduct and Discipline. Major responsibility for implementing the University's policy on scholastic dishonesty rests with the faculty. Be advised that the instructor of this course supports and fully implements this policy. The following actions will be taken when evidence of such misconduct is observed. The student will be presented with the evidence of misconduct and given an opportunity to explain same. Based on the outcome of this private conference, the matter will be either dropped or the student will be given a grade of "F" in the course and be referred to the Dean of Students for further counseling and/or disciplinary action.
- State common law and federal copyright laws protect my lectures. They are my own original expression and I record them at the same time that I deliver them in order to secure protection. Whereas you are authorized to take notes in class thereby creating a derivative work from my lecture, the authorization extends only to making one set of notes for your own personal use and no other use. You are not authorized to record my lectures, to provide your notes to anyone else or to make any commercial use of them without expressed prior permission from me.
- During the course, handouts will be provided to enhance the presentation of certain concepts. These materials are provided strictly for instructional purposes and may other wise be restricted. There is no authorization for further reproduction of distribution of handout materials beyond that intended to teach the course.
- This syllabus is subject to change at any time during the semester with changes to be announced in class.
- Students should schedule at least one hour per lecture hour for study outside class. Students should schedule at least one hour per laboratory hour for outside work to prepare for the laboratory, use of open laboratory hours, and to complete the required laboratory documentation.
- Grades are based, in part, on the student's ability to communicate. Well written English is expected in all course work and is a factor in laboratory report grades. The student’s ability to orally communicate the results of laboratory exercises and class assignments is also monitored.
- Each student should retain graded lecture notes, pop quizzes, homework, tests, software-generated files, and laboratory reports to document errors in recorded grades.
- Requests for review of graded work must be submitted during the lecture in which such work is returned to the students. The request should be accompanied by a written justification of the request including any supporting data.
- The UNT Catalog procedures on cheating and plagiarism will be vigorously enforced. It is the duty of all students to protect their work so it is not available to others for submission as their efforts. This is especially true of files that are generated on the computer. Students who knowingly allow others to use their work are partners in this unethical behavior.
- There is no limit to the use of calculators for lecture, labs, pop quizzes, formal tests, or final examination.
- Challenges to the course grade must be presented within 60 days of receipt of grade notices mailed by the university. This will insure that instructor’s records are still available to allow a review of the assigned grade. You should first discuss your complaint with the instructor. If you wish to carry it further, contact the Program Coordinator by calling (940) 565-2022. To further pursue your complaint, contact the Department Chair at (940) 565-2022, but ONLY after first discussing your concern with the previous two individuals.
- If appropriate, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are maintained on file in the department for your review. Access to these documents may be provided by the:
- instructor of this course,
- Program Coordinator, or
- Department Secretary.
Seek initial access through the instructor or Coordinator rather than the secretary.
- An I (incomplete) grade is given only for extenuating circumstances and in accordance with University and Departmental Policies.
SETE (Student Evaluation of Teaching Effectiveness)
The Student Evaluation of Teaching Effectiveness (SETE) is a requirement for all organized classes at UNT. This short survey will be made available to you at the end of the semester, providing you a chance to comment on how this class is taught. I am very interested in the feedback I get from students, as I work to continually improve my teaching.
