Final Exam / 50%

Lecture Attendance:

Attendance and punctuality are requested and expected, i.e. attendance is mandatory. More than five (5) undocumented absences shall have a detrimental impact on your final grade and shall result in an F grade, this policy is non-negotiable. When you miss a class period for any reason, you are responsible for assigned work even if you are absent. An absence is not an excuse for not completing any class assignment.

LECTURE ASSIGNMENTS

Ø  Reading assignments are listed under schedule, and should be completed prior to lecture.

Ø  Late homework will not be accepted.

Ø  Plagiarizing will be dealt with in accordance with the policy found in the CCSU Student Handbook.

CLASSROOM CONDUCT:

·  Plan to arrive to class on time and to stay for the entire class period (or until dismissed), random arrivals and exits are disrespectful and distracting.

·  All cell phones and other electronic devices must be turned off and hidden from view while the class is in session.

·  Talking, texting, or writing notes to other students, engaging in any activities not related to the class are considered disruptive behaviors and are therefore strictly prohibited.

·  Computers use is prohibited unless instructed otherwise.

Students with Disability:

The best approach is to contact Student Disability Services, Willard Hall 101-03 (http://www.ccsu.edu/page.cfm?p=3639) and have them email me your needs regarding class accommodation and other necessary arrangements. Student Disability Services maintains the confidential documentation of your disability and assists you in coordinating reasonable accommodations with your faculty.

Disclaimer:

The instructor reserves the right to adjust the scope of the course, covered topics, laboratory experiments, number, weights, and timing of exams, as necessary.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY:

Students are expected to do their own work and uphold the Academic Honor Code published in the University Student Handbook. All work submitted must be original work not copied by or from another source or student. Students who engage in plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct will face academic and disciplinary consequences. Any work you submit for evaluation must be your own, any infraction no matter how small it is, will not be tolerated and will result in an F grade in the whole course, moreover, it will be reported to the Judicial Officer. Use of solution manuals is strictly prohibited and shall result in an F grade in the whole course. For more info visit: (www.ccsu.edu/academicintegrity/UndergradAcadMisconductPolicy.htm)
