Lectures and laboratory ground rules
A class of this size needs ground rules to keep the lectures and laboratory productive and
pleasant.
1) No late comers to lectures.
Students are required to be in the lab before the lectures start. The doors will be closed at the
beginning of the class and no student will be allowed afterwards (except for very very special
circumstances).
If the door is closed and the lecture has already started, do not enter. You would disrupt the
lecture and the instructor would ask you to leave the lab.
2) No background noise during the lectures.
Do not chat with your friends during the lecture. Make sure the cellular phones are turned off
before the lecture starts.
All offenders of this rule will be asked to leave the lab and will be assumed absent for that
particular hour. If you would like to speak to your friends or use your cellular phone, do not enter
the lecture at all.
3) Honor code.
In this course, academic dishonesty will not be tolerated.
Simply do your own work. Show your own work (in lab reports, term project, homework, etc.). And
be proud of your work!
No attempts will be made to find out who copied from whom. Giving your friend a solution is as
bad as taking it from a friend of yours.
The penalty of cheating is very heavy. Do not risk it. It is not worth it...
