Course Syllabus in pdf

1. During the semester, 2 midterm tests will be held at night. The student MUST take both tests. Basically NO make-ups are granted unless absence from a test is justified with proper documentation. All tests will be based on the material covered up to the date of test. Unless otherwise instructed, closed-book tests should be expected. Any grade review you see justified should be brought to my attention within the first week of receiving the grade.
2. Homework will be assigned and specified either as "suggested" or "to be collected" at that time. There will be in class unannounced quizzes. A design problem will be assigned where individual analysis and work will be submitted in a report format.
3. It has been my experience in the past that when students study in groups, and communicate and share resources, they seem to perform better. Obviously, this is a generalization and I am sure there are many exceptions. However, please keep this in mind and take advantage of study groups whenever you can.
4. Accommodations for Students with Disabilities: Please see your copy of syllabi for details.
