Grading:

Your grade for this class is based on:

  • Midterms (3)45%
  • Final Exam35%
  • Homework20%

Miscellaneous:

1. All homework assignments must be turned in on the due date by 6:00 pm. Late homework is subject to 10% discount per day.

2. All exams are open-book/open-notes.

3. Students are encouraged to work together on in-class exercises, homework assignments and project. However, it is expected that each student will make a significant contribution to the group effort.

4. Academic integrity refers to each student's obligation to act with honesty and integrity and to respect the rights of others in carrying out all academic assignments. Violations of the University Academic integrity policy will not be ignored. Penalties include reduced or no credit for submitted work, a failing grade in the class, a note on your official transcript that shows you were punished for cheating, suspension, expulsion and revocation of already awarded degrees. The University requires that should I implement any penalty for violations of the academic integrity policy, I must report the matter to the Dean's office. The University has a Student Academic Integrity Policy, which will be followed in EEE 541.
