Teaching & Learning Methods

Class lectures, lecture notes, homework and assignments are designed to achieve the course
objectives.

You should read the assigned chapters before class, complete assignments on time, participate in
class and do whatever it takes for you to grasp this material. Ask questions. Ask lots of questions.

You are responsible for all material covered in the class.

Please communicate any concerns or issues as soon as practical either in class, by phone or by
Email.

The web page is a primary communication vehicle. Lecture notes will be available before each
class. It will contain homework assignments, study guides, and important instructions.

Home works are due at the beginning of class.

All work has to be done independently.
Submit a hard copy and soft copy of your homework with your name, Section#,
Sequence #, SID, and Homework # on it.
E-mail submission is not allowed.
All homework assignments are to be done individually.
Students handing in similar work will both receive a 0 and face possible
disciplinary actions
The format for the exams is generally (but NOT always) as follows: general
definitions, Multiple-choice, design, short essay questions and writing codes.
To make sure you pass the exams, you should do the assignments by yourself.
Grades will not be given out via e-mail

Last day to drop the course is before the twelve (12th) week of the current
semester.
Cheating or copying from neighbor on exam, quiz, or homework is an illegal and

Participation
Excellent attendance is expected.
JUST policy requires the faculty member to assign ZERO grade (35) if a student
misses 10% of the classes that are not excused.
Sign-in sheets will be circulated.
If you miss class, it is your responsibility to find out about any announcements or
assignments you may have missed.

Average work-load student should expect to spend is 8 hours/week

Instructor should return exam papers graded to students not after the week after
the exam date.

I appreciate people asking questions during my lectures - it lets me know which
concepts you are having difficulty with. Any question student asks is an
important question regardless how he/she or others feels about it. Ask any
question you think of directly or not directly pertinent to the lecture, I would be
happy to entertain them during or/and at the end of the class.
Ask me to repeat explaining things as many times as it takes to get it. When a
student asks me to repeat the material just explained, the last thing I think off, if
ever jumps to my mind, that the student is not smart enough to catch it. Most
likely it is my mistake. It is either I was fast, slipped a point or I did not do it well.
Whenever, a student asks me to repeat myself, I always learn new way to
present the material.
Sometimes I don't know the answer, but I'm happy to dig around and report back
at the beginning of the next class.
Ask and never think that you are wasting the class time or bothering me. I have
the courage to tell you, in the best you that will not heart your feelings, to stop,
delay, or to see me after the class.
Making any kind of disruption and (side talks) in the class will affect you
negatively.

Project
Finally

Projects in the lab have a high score and concentration.


Make backups of all of your work.
This includes any assignment and project materials you and your group produce.
Copy files onto 2 or 3 different memories and photocopy diagrams and other
materials to share with your group
