<strong>COURSE</strong> POLICIES<br />
1. Attendance: Class attendance is important. If an illness or unexpected event prevents<br />
attendance, the student should notify the instructor as early as possible. Students should read<br />
reference material in advance and be prepared for in class discussion.<br />
2. Assignments: Assigned work is due at the beginning <strong>of</strong> class on due date, unless otherwise<br />
specified. Late assignments may be penalized.<br />
3. Work Quality: Neat, legible, systematic and complete presentation is required in assignments.<br />
Units (for example, Newton-meters) must be documented wherever appropriate, especially tables and<br />
chart axes.<br />
4. Grading System: The course will be graded as follows:<br />
Projects (Approx. 6-8) 75 %<br />
Homework (Approx. 6-8) 25 %<br />
No “extra credit” opportunities will be available after course grades are announced.<br />
5. Academic Integrity: There is no tolerance for cheating in any form.<br />
Review http://student-rules.tamu.edu; Aggie Code <strong>of</strong> Honor<br />
Review http://student-rules.tamu.edu; Part 1, Section 20.
Aggie Code <strong>of</strong> Honor: “An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do.”<br />
“Upon accepting admission to Texas A&M University, a student immediately assumes a commitment<br />
to uphold the Honor Code, to accept responsibility for learning and to follow the philosophy and rules<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Honor System. Students will be required to state their commitment on examinations, research<br />
papers, and other academic work. Ignorance <strong>of</strong> the rules does not exclude any member <strong>of</strong> the Texas<br />
A&M University community from the requirements or the processes <strong>of</strong> the Honor System. For<br />
additional information please visit: www.tamu.edu/aggiehonor/.”<br />
On each project report cover page there shall be printed and signed by the student(s):<br />
“On my(our) honor, as an Aggie(s), I(we) have neither given nor received unauthorized<br />
aid on this academic work.”<br />
Collaboration on assignments is forbidden except when explicitly instructed. If you are not sure<br />
whether collaboration is allowed on a particular assignment, confer with the course instructor.<br />
6. Accomodation for Disabilities:<br />
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal antidiscrimination statute that provides<br />
comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation<br />
requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for<br />
reasonable accommodation <strong>of</strong> their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability requiring an<br />
accommodation, please contact the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> Student Life, Services for Students with<br />
Disabilities in Room B118 <strong>of</strong> Cain Hall or call 845-1637.<br />
7. Accomodation for Religious Observance:<br />
Texas HB256: “An institution <strong>of</strong> higher education shall excuse a student from attending classes or<br />
other required activities, including examinations, for the observance <strong>of</strong> a religious holy day, including<br />
travel for that purpose. A student whose absence is excused under this subsection may not be<br />
penalized for that absence and shall be allowed to take an examination or complete an assignment<br />
from which the student is excused.”<br />
A sincere effort will be made to accommodate students’ needs for religious observance. Students are<br />
instructed to contact the instructor during the first week <strong>of</strong> class in order to make arrangements.<br />
