- Mid-terms and final
will be open book, open notes.
- Project will involve
students developing a small, in-class, hands on experiment to
demonstrat some aspect of the course material. It may be similar
to the project from the first week of class where we disassembled
a floppy disk.
- Student Presentations
will have the students demonstrate to the class their project.

Individuals
who have a disability, either permanent or temporary, which might
effect their ability to perform in this class are encouraged
to inform the instructor at the start of the semester. Adaptation
of methods, materials, or testing may be made as required to
provide for equitable participation. |
Course Policies:
- Attendence requirements: None, however you are responsible for
all assignments and material covered in class whether you are
there or not.
- Assignment policy: All work is expected to be on time.
Extra credit may be available for early submission. Late work
is acceptable when arranged in advance, or you have a very creative
excuse (one that I have not heard and that is plausible).
- Class Participation: Based on
the discussion portion of the class. Grading will involve presenting
solved homework problems to the class, participating in discussion
of the solution, giving a guest lecture or other suitable idea
arranged with me.
- Exams: In-class, open book,
open notes. You may use any homework problems that you personally
have worked out. No copies (handwritten or photocopied) of someone
else's work are allowed. Mid-terms
and final will be open book, open notes unless otherwise noted. Make-up exams are possible if a valid
reason exists and plans are made ahead of time. However, the
makeup will consist of a project instead of an exam
- Student intellectual integrity: ALL EXAMS AND OTHER ASSESSMENT EXERCISES
MUST BE DONE INDEPENDENTLY. Homework and other assignments designed
as learning exercise may be done in groups (and group work is
encouraged). Academic misconduct may result in a failing grade
for the class or other appropriate action.
