Suggestion
It is important that you attend all classes to be aware of classroom meeting times and assignments. You are strongly
suggested to review/study all the problems/theories (lecture notes, videos will be posted in Angel) of the
chapters before the class meeting times.
Policy on Late Work or Make-Up Exams
No make up test or work will be given without a reasonable excuse and documentation. You must notify instructor before
the test date to arrange a makeup test.
Special Needs
If you have any special needs or requirements pertaining to this course, please discuss them with the instructor early in
the term.
Students with Disabilities

Syllabus Disclaimer
This syllabus is subject to change at the discretion of the instructor. Changes will be distributed when appropriate as an
addendum to the syllabus. The course goals, objectives, student competencies do not change.
Withdrawal and Attendance Policy
It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw from the class by the required date. A student may not miss more than 15% of
the classes for any EFSC course. A student exceeding this limit will be withdrawn from the course or assigned a grade of
F. Late arrivals might be counted as 0.25 or 0.5 of a class absence. A student wishing to withdraw from the course must
do so before the published withdrawal date. A student may not attend classes after withdrawal.

Last day to drop with refund of fees: Aug 23rd, 2013
Last day to withdraw with grade of “W”: Oct 14th, 2013
HOME WORKS (Online: www.masteringengineering.com);
Only for home works, we will use “Mastering Engineering” website; www.masteringengineering.com, everything else will
be on Angel. There will be weekly home work assignments from each chapter we will cover. To access the web site, you
must have access code (that should be provided with your purchase of the textbook from the book store or online vendor),
and the course ID, which is MEGUVENDIK78229 (all one word-no space). Make sure that you register to this course ID
(spelling must be exactly the same). Once registered, not only you will have access to home works but also many other
resources such as tutorials, videos, solutions etc. First please watch this video about registration tips;
http://www.masteringsupport.com/videos/registration_tips/registration_tips.mp4
For more info or for Q&A, visit:
http://www.masteringengineering.com/site/support/faq-students.html
Once you have registered to masteringengineering.com, please pay attention to the due dates of home works. There will
be no credit for late HW submissions. More than 30 % of the home works include “extra credit” works such as completing
tutorials, watching some of the video solutions, or answering some of textbook problems will give you extra credit. Take
advantage of this!
YOUR HOME WORK GRADES WILL BE VIEWABLE IN ANGEL, NOT IN MASTERING ENGINEERING.
