Homework

Selected homework will be collected at the beginning of each lecture period.  You are encouraged to discuss problems with other students, however, duplicating another student's work will be considered plagiarism, and this practice is unacceptable (see Academic Honesty below).  If you receive considerable aid on a particular problem you are to indicate so on your homework.  Neatness and clarity will be important factors in assigning homework grades.  Excused late homework will only be accepted under extreme circumstances (e.g., personal crises). Unexcused homework one class period late will receive 50% of maximum possible credit, beyond one class unexcused late homework will not be given credit. For current information on homework, please see the current ENGR 3140 homework list.

Tests and Exam

You may bring pencils, paper, erasers, and calculators to tests and final exam.  You will be supplied with any equations or other information needed.  There will be absolutely no sharing of calculators nor talking during test periods.  Testing dates will not be altered, and "make-up" tests will only be given under extreme circumstances. There will be no unannounced quizzes. For current information on quizzes, please see the ENGR 3140 tests web page.

Academic Honesty

All academic work must meet the standards contained in "A Culture of Honesty." Students are responsible for informing themselves about those standards before performing any academic work. The document for academic dishonesty may be found at the web site for The University of Georgia Office of the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost: Academic Honesty

Engineering Professionalism

The engineering profession is governed by a code of ethics that has developed alongside the rigors of the practice and its many contributions to society. Engineering students at the University of Georgia are responsible for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and professional practice. Engineering faculty at the University of Georgia expect students to act in a professional manner at all times.

Other

A student may be withdrawn from this course by the instructor without notification to the student for excessive absences or for failure to complete necessary prerequisites. For this course, "excessive absences" is defined as absences from all of the first three class meetings or five (5) or more absences from any contiguous ten (10) scheduled class meetings. A student may also be withdrawn from this course by the instructor after one warning for disruption of class. Ringing of a cell phone during the lecture constitutes a "disruption of class."

The instructor will provide students with an opportunity to complete academic responsibilities resulting from absences due to (for example) 1) observation of religious holidays, 2) significant illness, 3) death in family and 4) emergencies. The instructor requires reasonable written notice of absences (one week, when possible). Please communicate promptly in writing (email) with instructor such absences, including date and reason for absence, and proposed alternative for academic responsibilities. Failure to communicate with the instructor in a timely fashion may cause the loss of opportunity to complete academic responsibilities.
