Class Rules:
All necessary diagrams and calculations must be clearly shown on all graded work in order to
receive full credit.
No makeup exams will be given. If you know that you will miss an exam for reasons beyond
your control, let me know and I may give you an exam early. If you miss an exam for reasons
beyond your control, those points will be added to the final exam.
Homework assignments for each lecture are given on the schedule sheet. You are responsible
for working these problems. I will take questions about the homework at the beginning of each
class period, but no homework will be collected.
Attendance will be taken each day using a seating chart. The seat that you take on the second
day of class will be your seat for the entire semester. I will give each student one unexcused
absence, then you will lose one percentage point for each day you are absent without an excuse.
If you know of days that you will be absent for an acceptable reason, please let me know ahead
of time. If you miss class due to sickness, please notify me as soon as possible. These
notifications should be made via email and may be subject to verification.
If there is a question about the grading of any problem, you must raise the issue before the next
class period after receiving the grade.
The final exam will be comprehensive.
You are responsible for making yourself aware of and understanding the University policies
and procedures that pertain to Academic Honesty. These policies include cheating, fabrication,
falsification and forgery, multiple submission, plagiarism, complicity and computer misuse.
(The academic policies addressing Student Rights and Responsibilities can be found in the
Undergraduate Catalog at http://catalog.wmich.edu/content.php?catoid=22&navoid=882 and
the Graduate Catalog at http://catalog.wmich.edu/content.php?catoid=23&navoid=938.) If
there is reason to believe you have been involved in academic dishonesty, you will be referred
to the Office of Student Conduct. You will be given the opportunity to review the charge(s) and
if you believe you are not responsible, you will have the opportunity for a hearing. You should
consult with your instructor if you are uncertain about an issue of academic honesty prior to the
submission of an assignment or test.
In addition, you are encouraged to contact the Office of Student Conduct
www.wmich.edu/conduct, the Registrar’s Office www.wmich.edu/registrar or Disability
Services for Students www.wmich.edu/disabilityservices to access the Code of Honor and
general academic policies on such issues as diversity, religious observance, student
disabilities, etc.
