Teaching & Learning Methods
· Class lectures, lecture notes, homework and assignments are designed to achieve the course objectives.
· You should read the assigned chapters before class, complete assignments on time, participate in class and do whatever it takes for you to grasp this material. Ask questions. Ask lots of questions.
· You are responsible for all material covered in the class.
· Please communicate any concerns or issues as soon as practical either in class, by phone or by Email.
· The web page is a primary communication vehicle. Lecture notes will be available before each class. It will contain homework assignments, study guides, and important instructions.
Additional Notes
Home works / · Home works are due at the beginning of class.
· Late homework will not be accepted.
· All work has to be done independently.
· Submit a hard copy and soft copy of your homework with your name, Section#, Sequence #, SID, and Homework # on it.
· E-mail submission is not allowed.
· All homework assignments are to be done individually.
· Students handing in similar work will both receive a 0 and face possible disciplinary actions
Exams / · The format for the exams is generally (but NOT always) as follows: general definitions, Multiple-choice, design, short essay questions and writing codes.
· To make sure you pass the exams, you should do the assignments by yourself.
· Grades will not be given out via e-mail
· The exams might be online
Makeup Exams / · Makeup exam should not be given unless there is a valid excuse.
· Arrangements to take an exam at a time different than the one scheduled MUST be made prior to the scheduled exam time.
Drop Date / · Last day to drop the course is before the twelve (12th) week of the current semester.
Cheating / · Cheating or copying from neighbor on exam, quiz, or homework is an illegal and unethical activity.
· Standard JUST policy will be applied.
· All graded assignments must be your own work (your own words).
· Some of the assignments (programming or homework) may be graded orally.
Additional Notes (Continue)
Attendance
/ · Excellent attendance is expected.· JUST policy requires the faculty member to assign ZERO grade (35) if a student misses 10% of the classes that are not excused.
· Sign-in sheets will be circulated.
· If you miss class, it is your responsibility to find out about any announcements or assignments you may have missed.
Workload / · Average work-load student should expect to spend is 8 hours/week
Graded Exams / · Instructor should return exam papers graded to students not after the week after the exam date.
Participation / · I appreciate people asking questions during my lectures - it lets me know which concepts you are having difficulty with. Any question student asks is an important question regardless how he/she or others feels about it. Ask any question you think of directly or not directly pertinent to the lecture, I would be happy to entertain them during or/and at the end of the class.
· Ask me to repeat explaining things as many times as it takes to get it. When a student asks me to repeat the material just explained, the last thing I think off, if ever jumps to my mind, that the student is not smart enough to catch it. Most likely it is my mistake. It is either I was fast, slipped a point or I did not do it well. Whenever, a student asks me to repeat myself, I always learn new way to present the material.
· Sometimes I don't know the answer, but I'm happy to dig around and report back at the beginning of the next class.
· Ask and never think that you are wasting the class time or bothering me. I have the courage to tell you, in the best you that will not heart your feelings, to stop, delay, or to see me after the class.
· Making any kind of disruption and (side talks) in the class will affect you negatively.
Lab / · Internal lab should be registered separately on student schedule. Failure to do so the course will be withdrawn automatically.
Project / · Projects in the lab have a high score and concentration.
Finally / · Make backups of all of your work.
· This includes any assignment and project materials you and your group produce.
· Copy files onto 2 or 3 different memories and photocopy diagrams and other materials to share with your group
