questions, etc. during this course.
Homework: I encourage you to work together on homework assignments. If you work on
homework together, please put both names on 1 submission. If computer
generated, use the Word format and submit using the BB Learn Assignments. If
handwritten, homework must be placed in my mailbox in the CEIT office, room
ET-205.
Labs: Lab assignments will be posted on BB Learn. No more than 3 persons per lab team
are allowed without permission of the instructor. One lab report per team is
required and will be submitted via BB Learn Assignments.
Quizzes: There will be 3 multiple choice/true-false quizzes taken via the web. Each quiz
may be taken twice. Sufficient time will be allowed each time you take a quiz and
the higher of your two scores will count as your grade on each quiz.
Grading Scale & Policy: The grade will be based on the total points for the course.
This table is approximate. The final grade is based on your percentage.
