1. At least 70% of homework assignments must be submitted to receive a passing grade. Homework assignments will be announced in class and they are due at the beginning of the class period on the due day. Late work will be graded for 80% credit if submitted on the class day following the "due" date. After that, no grade will be given. Neatness will count and messy, unorganized problems will result in reduced credit.

2. There will be two term exams plus a comprehensive final exam. Sketches and all solutions must be shown clearly and neatly in your exam papers. All examinations missed due to illness or emergency require a written, verified excuse or a grade of zero will be assigned.

3. Class attendance is necessary for satisfactory performance. There will be a sign-up sheet for each lecture in order to keep record of class attendance. Students are encouraged to have regular seats in the classroom.

4. Cheating and plagiarism are serious academic matters and they will be handled by the following policy and by the University policy. A grade of zero is assigned for the entire assignment. For example, zero is assigned for the entire test and not for individual parts of the test. Automatic failure of the course can result from a zero grade on an individual assignment. The case will be reported to the Dean of Students for disciplinary action.

5. In accordance with Americans Disabilities Act, students with bona fide disabilities will be afforded reasonable accommodation. The office of Special Student Services will certify a disability and advise faculty members of reasonable accommodations. If you have a specific disability that qualifies you for academic accommodations, please notify your instructor and provide certification from Disability Services (Office of Special Students Services). The Office of Special student Services is directed by Ms. Bernita Pulmas and is located in the Student Center, Room 270, Phone 460-7212.

6. Since all classes do not progress at the same rate, the instructor may wish to modify the syllabus requirements or their timing as circumstances dictate. For example, the instructor may wish to change the number and frequency of exams, or the number and sequence of assignments. If such a modification is warranted, students will be given adequate notification in writing.
