A final project is due in this class. It will be graded on a scale of
-1 to 3. The final project grade will be added to the class average.
| attendance: |
Attendance at every meeting of the class is expected. Grades will
not be directly affected by lack of attendance, but I predict that
grades will correspond well with attendance. Class participation
counts for part of the final grade of the class. There is always
the chance of a "pop" quiz (counts as part of the homework grade),
and "magic numbers" may also be distributed.
|
| in-class conduct: |
All students in the class are expected to behave in a
manner conducive to learning.
|
| extra credit: |
There will be ample extra credit work for those
students who feel that they need to give more attention to the
material and/or their grade in the class. |
| late homework: |
Late homework will be accepted with a 10% penalty each day
that it is late. However, late homework cannot be turned in once the
graded assignment has been returned to the class. |
| re-grading: |
Simple arithemtic errors (by the instructor) will gladly
be corrected immediately following the class period when the tests are
handed back. A disagreement with the grading of a
particular test question requires a written request for re-grading. |
| tutoring: |
Hopefully all tutoring needs can be handled during
office hours. If that is not the case, then accommodations will be
made. |
| group effort: |
Group effort is encouraged on most homework problems.
If this is not the case, then it will be stated explicitly with the
homework assignment. All quizzes will test the ability of the
individual. |
| field trips: |
Three field trips will be made during the semester to
locations around town. If you are not able to attend any of
these, then you must present a final project to the class. |
U. T.'s:
| attendance: |
Regular attendance at all meetings of the classes for which a
student is registered is expected, and implementation of this policy
is the responsibility of instructors. Instructors should inform
their students of any special attendance requirements.
|
| discrimination: |
To the extent provided by applicable law, no person shall be excluded
from participation in, denied the benefits of, or be subject to
discrimination under, any program or activity sponsored or conducted
by The University of Texas System or any of its component institutions
on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age,
veteran status, or disability.
|
| add/drop courses: |
Procedures for adding and dropping courses are given
in the Course Schedule. Each student is responsible for
properly initiating and completing adds and drops.
|
| sexual harassment: |
It is the policy of the University of Texas at Austin to
maintain an educational environment free from sexual
harassment and intimidation. Sexual harassment is
expressly prohibited and offenders are subject to
disciplinary action.
|
| scholastic dishonesty: |
Students who violate University rules on scholastic dishonesty are
subject to disciplinary penalties, including the possibility of
failure in the course and/or dismissal from the University.

academic adjustments for qualified students with disabilities. For
