Homework and Quiz Policies:
• Homework (10) See schedule
• Quizzes (5) See schedule
• Email and class web page will be used to make announcements. The web page has
the syllabus, calendar, useful weblinks, assignments, and access to your homework
assignments and grades.
• Turn in completed homework at the beginning of class on due date. No late
homework will be accepted. UNITS are VERY important - please keep them in all
calculations, show all work - box answers, put name/class/assignment on every
sheet.
• The lowest homework grade will be dropped.
• Five quizzes consisting of 2-3 problems will be given throughout the semester. The
lowest quiz grade will be dropped.
• Late or Missing Assignments/Quizzes Policy: There will be NO make-up quizzes,
and NO late homework will be accepted, except in cases of documented,
university-approved excuses. Documented excuses must be brought to the
instructor’s attention in a timely manner. In case of anticipated absences, HW may
be turned in early.
• Solutions for the homeworks/quizzes will be accessible on the web.
Accommodations For Disabilities
• Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with verifiable disabilities.
In order to take advantage of available accommodations, students must register
with Disability Services for Students at 1900 Student Health Center, Campus Box
7509, 515-7653. http://www.ncsu.edu/provost/offices/affirm_action/dss/
• For more information on NC State's policy on working with students with
disabilities, please see

Academic Integrity
• All the provisions of the code of academic integrity apply to this course.
(http://www.ncsu.edu/provost/academic_policies/integrity/reg.htm)
• In addition, it is my understanding and expectation that your signature on any
Exam or Quiz means that you neither gave nor received unauthorized aid.
• Note: Collaboration on homeowrk assignments (only) is encouraged. HOWEVER,
plagiarism/cheating will not be tolerated. You are expected to understand and
complete your own assignment, even though you may have discussed your
approach or solution with your classmates.
Audit and Credit Only Policy
• University policy will be followed for students taking the class for Audit or Credit
Only. In short, a C- or higher final grade is required to receive credit.
