 | Work Load: This is a four-credit
course. The work load for this course should average out to 8 to 12 hours a week outside
of class. This time should be spent reading the text and notes, working problems,
discussing material with your colleagues, and thinking about the material in this course. |
| Reading Assignments: You are expected to
complete the reading assignments before class. In-class activities will often assume that
you are familiar with the material assigned. |
| Homework Problem Guidelines:
 | Homework is assigned daily but collected as
a set on the dates indicated. Typically you should expect to work on the homework following
the class period in which it is assigned. |
| Late homework will not be accepted except
for medical reasons or prior arrangements with the instructor. |
| Homework assignments will be collected at
the beginning of the class period on the days indicated in the schedule. |
| Each homework set should consists of a
cover page followed by the homework problems arranged in the order they were assigned. A
sample cover page will be provided.
 | Put your name and box number
in the top right corner of each page. |
| Use only one side of each page and start
each problem on a new page. |
| Identify each problem using the correct
assignment number. |
| Each solution must be both legible and
coherent. |
| Clearly identify final answers and
important intermediate answers. |
| All problems must be worked on standard
engineering problem paper. |
| Problems must be prepared using the problem
solving format discussed in the notes. Points will be taken off if this format is not
followed. |
|
|
| Written Assignments: All memos and reports
should conform to the standards presented in the RH/FC Sophomore Engineering Curriculum
Writing Guide. The Guide will be distributed in class. |
| Attendance: Excused absences should be
arranged in advance. The instructor reserves the right to reduce your final course grade
by one letter grade for every four unexcused absences. Eight or more absences excused or
unexcused may result in your failing the course. |
| Final Exam: The final exam will be
comprehensive and somewhat harder than the mid-term exams; however, additional time will
be provided. Every student is expected to be available during the Final Exam Period
scheduled by the Registrar. |
