| Individual assignments and group projects are due at 9:10 AM in class on the date scheduled, unless Dr. Lohr agrees to other arrangements. Grades on assignments turned in late will be reduced by 1% of the possible points for every day (including weekends) past the original due date and will receive no comments or explanations for the grade. Late work should be turned in by 9:10 AM on the last regular class period. |
| No make-up exams or early exams will be given. If you miss an exam you will receive a grade of zero on that exam. For example, if you town before the final exam date, you will receive a zero for that exam. Your lowest exam score will be dropped. |

| Be a positive, contributing member of the class.
You are expected to act in a manner that will facilitate your learning
as well as the others' learning. Come to class prepared. Share your
knowledge and experiences with the class. Do not disrupt or prevent
learning by others. Listen with respect. Regular lecture AND lab attendance and participation are essential! The material presented in both laboratory and lecture goes beyond that in the textbook. Regular participation is also important to support your classmates. During many classes and labs, you will work with others on group projects. Your group cannot work effectively when a member is absent. Classroom policies, such as grading and assignments, are subject to change. Announcements about such changes, should they become necessary, will be made in class or lab. If you must miss class or lab, you are responsible for finding out what you missed and for obtaining any handouts. You are on your honor to participate in this class as your own representative and not to pass the work of others off as your own. Academic dishonesty, in any form, including plagiarizing, is unacceptable. If you are caught cheating, you will receive a zero on the involved exam or assignment and be reported. You may be expelled from the class. If we suspect you are cheating, we may assign a zero or we may choose to give you an opportunity to repeat the activity under conditions of our choosing. Do not use cell phones or smoke in class or lab or
during group work. Cell phones should be off during class
and lab. Refrain from smoking while you are participating in class and
lab, including indoor activities,
outdoor activities,
and while walking from
indoor to outdoor activities. Out of
consideration
for your classmates, please do not smoke when working in assigned
groups
outside of class time either. Second-hand smoke is toxic and bothers
some
people who may be too polite to say so. |
