Grade assignment is on a 10-point scale. Homework is due at the beginning of the class period. No late homework will be accepted.

If you are in enrolled in ECE 3724/CS3124, then you have a regular laboratory assignment each week. You MUST get at least a 60% average for your Lab assignments in order to achieve a 'D' grade in this course, REGARDLESS of how well you do on the other material (in-class tests, homework, etc). This is to prevent a student from simply disregarding the lab assignments and concentrating solely on the lecture. You MUST get at least a 60% average for your combined Tests and Final in order to achieve a 'D' grade in this course, REGARDLESS of how well you do on the lab and homework assignments. A student who cannot achieve a passing grade on in-class material cannot pass this course.

 

ATTENDANCE POLICY

You will be expected to attend class on a regular basis. More than three unexcused class absences may result in a lower course grade.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

Occasionally, we have a problem in this course with Academic Dishonesty. Academic Dishonesty is when you present some other person's work as your own. The following is my definition of academic dishonesty:

You may DISCUSS external homeworks, and verbally answer questions about homeworks from other students. You may not SHOW your homework to another student, or provide an 'old copy' as an example!!!!

If I find a student guilty of academic dishonesty, expect an F in the course and an academic dishonesty claim to go into your permanent academic record.
