When a test is given to a student, that
student is expected to write their class number that I assign at the beginning
of the semester on their test in the space provided and to write their class
section number in the space provided as well.
Students failing to follow these simple instructions will have a grade
penalty for that test. If you should
forget your class number or class section number, please ask and I will provide
it to you to write on the test before submitting your test for grading.
You are required to do your own work on
all tests and assignments. There is to
be no discussions with fellow students during tests that may be misinterpreted
as cheating. Any form of cheating may
result in a grade penalty or the student being withdrawn from the course as
well as dismissal from the University. See page 37 of the Shawnee State
University catalog.
Questions to the instructor are to be
limited to interpretation of the printed test for misspelled words,
unintelligible print, or inappropriate questions for the material. Students are not to ask if their answers are
correct or sufficient.
Student
Project
Students will write a
paper (10 page min) containing the following parts:
1)
Brief history of the method employed to solve the problem
2)
Description of their problem
3)
Solution to their problem
4)
List of references
The student project
will be submitted as attachments emailed to the instructor – Paper in Microsoft
Word format and Presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint format.
Students will be
expected to present their projects to the class using PowerPoint.
All students will be
expected to attend the classes during presentations; an unexcused absence
during this time frame will result in a letter grade off their project.
Make-Up Tests:
For students wishing to makeup a test missed or raise their score on a test taken, a test over the respective material will be given during the final exam period. The highest score will be recorded.
Grading Scale: 90 – 100 A
80 – 89 B
70 – 79 C
60 – 69 D
Below 60 F
Any student having
difficulties or questions is encouraged to contact the instructor during office
hours or by appointment.
Attendance is taken at each class meeting.
The number of times you are present is divided by the number of class meetings in the semester giving you a percentage of time present.
90 – 100 % counts as 4 points
80 – 89 % counts as 3 points
70 – 79% counts as 2 points
60 - 69% counts as 1 point
A
student that behaves in an unprofessional manner, that demonstrates a lack of
respect for others, and wishes to demonstrate dysfunctional classroom
participation making the class less effective and degrading the learning
experience may be required to leave the classroom…see Classroom Policies for
more details. These behaviors decrease classroom effectiveness and degrade
the learning experience. Students are
expected to be on time to class; those students that fail to be in their seats
at the time roll is taken will not be counted present.
Simply, you are
expected to treat your colleagues (both the professor and fellow students) with
courtesy and respect.
