HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS:

Professional presentation of homework assignments is required.  Professional presentation consists of neat and organized solution of problems on one side of 8.5"x11" papers.  Any homework not complying with professional standards will not be graded and will be assigned zero credit.  The homework assignments are due one week after they are assigned.  Assignments turned in late will be docked 10% for each day it is late past the original due date.  Solutions will be available from the TAs and on the class website after the problems are returned.  No assignment will be accepted after the answers have been posted.  Students are encouraged to discuss and formulate solutions to the problems by working in teams.  However, assignments must be completed and submitted individually. Guidelines for homework are given as follows:

1. Use good quality paper, such as engineering graph paper or college-ruled paper, any color, with no spiral edges.
2. Write on only one side of the paper.
3. Either pen or pencil is acceptable.
4. Include your name, section, and page number (e.g. 1/3 means 1 of 3) on each sheet.
5. Staple all pages together in the upper left corner.
6. Neatly box all answers, and include appropriate units for numerical answers.
7. Show all work (e.g. no work means no credit will be given).

If the above guidelines are not followed, the TA will either reject the assignment outright, for extreme cases, or deduct points for items that do not conform to the specifications.

EXAMS:

All students must take all quizzes and exams including the final exam.  Only extenuating circumstances will be accepted as excuse for missing an exam.  Health related excuses require medical reports and the signature of a physician that provided treatment

DESIGN PROJECT:  To be announced and discussed.
