Homework and Projects:

Assignments will be due at the beginning of the class period on the due date. Assignments turned in during the class period or later will be accepted but will be subject to a penalty (reducing the total score). A 10% penalty will be applied for each assignment that is turned in during the class period on the due date. A 20% penalty will be assessed for each week (or part week) that an assignment is late if it is not turned in on the due date.

Unless specifically agreed (in advance) homework IS DUE on the due date. If you are unable to attend class the assignment is to be emailed, faxed or postmarked on or before the due date to avoid the penalty.

If you receive an unsatisfactory (less than 80%) mark on an assignment, that was turned in on time, you have the option of resubmitting it by the next class period. An automatic reduction of 20% will be applied to the resubmitted work's score. If you earned a 60% on an assignment and resubmitted it for a 95%, your net score of 75% would be a significant improvement.

Attendance and Participation:

Attendance and participation is an important part of the college experience. Additionally your success outside of school requires daily attendance and so does this class. Attendance will regularly be taken and your final course grade WILL BE REDUCED by 2.5% for each unexcused absence. Excused absences are only those absences approved in advance and defined in the University's “Student Attendance Code”. A copy of the “Student Attendance Code” is available on Blackboard under “Course Documents”.

Extra Credit:

Extra credit may be awarded to students that go well beyond the required assignments, assist during lab time with their fellow students, or other factors as deemed by the instructor.

Make-Up Examinations:

Attendance for posted examinations is mandatory. If you are unable to take the exam with the rest of the class you must make arrangements for a make-up examination BEFORE the examination period. This policy will be strictly enforced and will only be available for “Excused Absences” as defined by university policy. Scheduling and availability of make-up examinations is at the discretion of the instructor.

Scheduling and availability of make-up examinations is at the discretion of the instructor.

Assignment Notes:

Each assignment will be requested in a particular format (printed, or posted to the class web server).

All printed or written assignments must have the students name, project name, and due date on the assignment. You may need to use a cover sheet for this information. Assignments received without this information will be counted as not being turned in and will be destroyed.

All assignments posted to the class web server will only be graded once a paper cover sheet is submitted to the instructor. Please use the “Web Hand In Sheet” that you can copy, download from the class server, Blackboard, or use as a sample. This coversheet needs to have the course number/section, student name, , assignment week/number, listing of all files used in this project, and complete URL to the students web-server address where the assignment's main page has been uploaded.

Assignments and Media will be returned with grade and notes attached.

Record Retention:

The instructor will retain all student work that was not returned for a period of two weeks after the end of the term. Any material/media remaining after the two week period will be destroyed/erased, unless prior arrangements are made.
