Course Policies

  • University guidelines on academic integrity will be enforced in their entirety. It is the student's responsibility to be familiar with academic integrity guidelines.
  • Material for exams will be drawn from lecture, reading, laboratory, and homework. The final exam will be cumulative.
  • You are encouraged to work in groups on homework as a forum to exchange ideas. However, the final product must be an individual effort. Homework assignments identical to one another will be marked zero. This policy includes component parts such as a graphs produced using a computer.
  • Homework assignments will be made on most Thursdays and will be due the following Thursday with no late homework accepted except under extreme circumstances and at the instructor's discretion. A list of homework assignments is on page 3 of this syllabus. Acceptable homework must conform to guidelines in the accompanying handout.
  • Unless otherwise directed, laboratory write-ups are due the following laboratory. No late write-ups will be accepted except under extreme circumstances and at the instructor's discretion. Acceptable write-ups must conform to the homework guidelines distributed in the first lecture.
  • Switching of laboratory sections will not be allowed except where a serious and compelling reason exists.
