    Academic Policies

    Homework Policy: Simulation practice problems and textbook exercises will be assigned regularly on a biweekly basis. Only two problems (one each from computer based and paper&pencil based solutions) that are randomly selected from each homework will be graded. Everyone is recommended to do the homework earnestly since it will be a good preparation for the exam and it must be personal effort.

    Attendance Policy: Students who anticipate the necessity of being absent from class due to the observation of a major religious observance must provide notice of the date(s) to the instructor, in writing, by the second class meeting.

    Exam Policy: All exams are closed books and notes. One page reference sheet for formulas and definitions is allowed but NO homework or any other worked out examples. There will be NO MAKE-UP for a missed exam without prior approval from the instructor (with sufficent advance notice given) except in the case of a documentable medical emergency.

    Academic Dishonesty Policy: The first strike policy will be strictly adhered to with NO warnings given (any form of cheating on exams or plagiarism on assigned homework and projects will result in an F grade and further suspension or expulsion from the University). It is the student's responsibility to review USF and EE department policies and procedures on Acdemic Conduct, Dishonesty, and Disruption.
