Grading: Grades will be
determined by assignments of homework.
This will count for 1/3 of the grade. There will be a midterm project
that will count for 1/3 of the grade. There will also be a final project that
will count for 1/3 of the grade. All work must be
handed in by
Academic Integrity: Students may discuss assignments with each other but must carry out their work independently. I will check students work during the laboratory to see that each student is doing his or her own work. If there are big discrepancies between classwork and work handed in, I will assume that students have had others do their work for them. Students will not receive credit for work that is not done independently.
Homework Assignments: Work can be emailed to me. I will also bring a flash drive to class to copy students assignments. The subject of the email should be “homework assignment – date” where date is the due date of the homework, even if the homework is late. I will accept late homework, but grades for late homework will be lower than for homework handed in on time.
