Assignments are due in class at the beginning of class on the date they are
due. Any work that is not turned in at the beginning of class on the due date
must be accompanied by a
Homework Cover Sheet. Work turned in outside of class or late that does not
have a Homework Cover Sheet attached will be penalized an additional ten
percent.
Work turned in late will be penalized as follows:
| Late on day due (after class on due date) | 10% penalty |
| One day late (before OMH closing on the next calendar day) | 20% penalty |
| Two days late (before OMH closing on the second calendar day) | 40% penalty |
| Three or more calendar days late | No credit unless approved by instructor |
Exceptions may be granted in special circumstances (such as illness) at the discretion of the instructor. To request an exception, explain on the Homework Cover Sheet.
Whenever work is turned in at any time or place other than in class, on the due date, it must include a Homework Cover Sheet.
In order to minimize the impact of the current H1N1 influenza pandemic at SPU we ask that students who are experiencing the following symptoms DO NOT attend class: Sudden fever accompanied by any of the following: chills, headache, sore throat, muscle aches, cough, vomiting or diarrhea. You may return to class once your fever is gone for 24 hours without the use of medication. Please notify the instructor via email if you are missing class due to illness. Students who miss class may participate in the online class session or view recordings of lectures. Thank you for your help protecting our community.
The current edition of the SPU Undergraduate Catalog describes the University’s commitment to academic integrity, which is breached by academic dishonesty of various kinds. Among these is turning in another’s work as your own, committing plagiarism, which is the copying of portions of another’s words from a published or electronic source without acknowledgement of that source and consulting solution keys not authorized by the instructor. The penalty for a breach of academic integrity is a double-zero (-100%) for the work in question on the first offense and a failing grade for the course as a whole with repeated offenses.
Students enrolled in EE 1210 must agree to obey the Engineering Laboratory Rules when using the engineering laboratories. Students who violate the safety rules will have their quarter grade for Programming and Homework Assignments reduced by ten percent for each occurrence after an initial warning.
In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, students with specific disabilities that qualifies for academic accommodations should contact Disabled Student Services (DSS) in the Center for Learning. DSS in turn will send a Disability Verification Letter to the course instructor indicating what accommodations have been approved.
Please note when the final exam is scheduled and avoid making conflicting travel plans. Final exams will be re-scheduled only for students who have three or more exams on the same day.
Please note the emergency procedures posted in the classroom or laboratory, and note the emergency exits. In case of an emergency (fire, earthquake, hazardous material spillage, bomb threat, etc.), the class will evacuate the building and gather in the parking lot near the alumni center. Please try to stay together so that we can check that everyone has made it safely out of the building.
I hope that you will participate in an online evaluation of this course and its instructor in a thoughtful and constructive manner. The evaluation data is used to make improvements in the course, and your feedback is considered when selecting textbooks, designing teaching methods and preparing assignments. Courses are evaluated using the Banner Course Evaluation System. All answers are completely confidential - your name is not stored with your answers in any way. In addition, I will not see any results of the evaluation until after final grades are submitted to the University.
The University maintains an Emergency Closure Hotline (206-281-2800). In the event of inclement weather or an emergency that might close the university, please call the Hotline for the most up-to-date closure information or check the SPU website. Both will be updated before 6:00 a.m. Information on evening classes, events, and athletic games will also be updated.
