Course policies and such...
In General...
- Program/lab/homework due dates:
Programs, labs, and/or homeworks
should be turned in no later than the assigned due date.
If you are having difficulty with your assignments, please take
the initiative to see me well before any deadlines.
Laboratory exercises are posted on the Weekly Course Outline page
for this class, and should be completed
sometime during the assigned week. These exercises will help you to
avoid common mistakes and thus are an investment in terms of your training
to become a proficient scientist.
We will go over the assignments in class and questions
related to each of them will show up on tests.
- Examinations:
Make-up examinations will be given in cases of medical emergencies.
- Ethical issues/professional conduct:
This course is also structured around a set of graded assignments to
enable you to develop and build upon your analytical and logical
reasoning skills. Please remember that, unless otherwise indicated,
individual work must be turned in for all assignments.
Please review UWF's on-line
plagiarism policy
for additional information.
For those assignments and labs where you are
instructed to seek out a classmate and work together, please
note that each student is still required to understand all
the material covered in the given assignment.
We will also sometimes work out problems in class in small groups
so that you can see alternative approaches.
Grading
Tests 60 % -- Labs 20 % -- Term Project (w/ Website) 20 %
The final grade will be on a 10-point scale, roughly:
A range = 100...90, B range = 89...80,
with plus/minus grades as appropriate.
Students with Alternative Needs
If you have a need for any in-class accommodations or special
test-taking arrangements, please get in touch with me at your
earliest convenience.
