of programming through MATLAB to develop scientific and engineering
models. The student will be able to write beginner level
programs. CREDIT

MATLAB software for home use is optional. You
can buy the MATLAB Student Version from the USF bookstore. You can
always use MATLAB free of charge in open labs
(http://it.usf.edu/services/labs)
on campus except EDU open lab. You can also use USF Applications Portal
to access MATLAB (http://apps.usf.edu) . TIME:

Competency
Tests: Each test is
graded out of 100. You will be asked
to write a program in MATLAB. You can
use the help menu of MATLAB during the test.
These tests last 60 to 90 minutes (do not make any plans until class
end time on the test days). After the
time is over Allowed: 1.
You may bring one 8.5x11
handwritten sheet that has anything written on it in your own
handwriting. You can use both sides of
the paper. 2.
Textbook 3.
MATLAB,
and MATLAB help only. 4.
Notepad (3rd
test). 5.
Help menu of MATLAB. Quizzes: These will be given
in the beginning of the class. You will be asked to answer a few fill in the blank/short
answers/multiple choice questions.
These quizzes will be of not more than 10-15 minutes duration. All quizzes will be closed book; closed notes; no computer. HW: Homework will be
assigned in class. Assigned HW
is due as a hard copy in the next class meeting at the beginning time of the
class. Be sure that you make the hard
copy of the published version of the Mfile and attach the affidavit sheet. Final
Exam: A 50-question
multiple-choice test will be given as your final
examination. Any scheduling conflict
with the final exam must be resolved within the first week of class and
rescheduled with approval by the instructor. The final exam is closed book; closed notes; no computers. Curving
the Grade: The
following will be the adjustment made to your course grade and these
adjustments will be made only at the end of the
semester. If the average for students
registered for the course (all withdrawal students and students missing the
exam are not included in the calculation) for any of the tests (quizzes are
not included) is less than 70% at the end of course Grade
A+ is 99‑100 (4.00) Grade A
is 90-98 (4.00) Grade A-
is 86-89 (3.67) Grade B+
is 83-85 (3.33) Grade B is 80-82
(3.00) Grade B- is 76-79 (2.67) Grade C+
is 73-75 (2.33) Grade C is 70-72
(2.00) Grade C– is 66-69 (1.67) Grade D+
is 63-65 (1.33) Grade D is 60-62
(1.00) Grade D‑ is 56‑
59 (0.67) Grade F
is 0‑ 55 (0.00). Your
final grade will be calculated as follows at the end
of the course. A number 0.999999 will be added to your overall percentage grade. The integer
part (INT function in Excel) of the grade will be recorded
as your final grade. Course grades will be evaluated on the above given percentages and a
letter grade will be assigned to you as outlined in the University catalog
for undergraduate students (2011-2012). Do not wait
until the last day before a test to ask questions. Graded assignments and quizzes not picked
up when handed out in class can be picked up only
during the above given office hours or at the end of the class. Graded assignments and tests not picked up by
January 15, 2012 will be discarded. Attendance
is compulsory and you are responsible for all assigned HW, quizzes,
and announcements. Attendance will be based on the quizzes you take in the beginning of
each class In the event of an emergency, it may be necessary
for USF to suspend normal operations.
During this time, USF may opt to continue delivery of instruction
through methods that include but are not limited to:
Blackboard, Elluminate, Skype, and email messaging and/or an alternate
schedule. It is the responsibility of
the student to monitor Blackboard site for each class for course specific
communication, and the main USF, College, and department websites, emails,
and MoBull messages for important general
information. Re-grading of a test Grades will be updated on the web (https://my.usf.edu)
after grading of each quiz/test. NO make‑up
tests will be given.
However Notification
of absence must be given before the commencement of
the scheduled examination or test to me.
You need to type a professional memo (no e-mails will be accepted)
about your absence addressed to me as soon as
possible. Attach any documentation
with it. Do not
presume that your reasons for missing an examination or test are acceptable
unless authorization is given to you. POLICY
ON RELIGIOUS OBSERVATIONS Students
who need to be absent under this rule must provide written notice of date(s)
to me by the second-class meeting. POLICY ON STUDENT
DISABILITY ACCOMMODATIONS Any student who feels
he/she may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should
contact the Office for Student Disability Services at 813-974-4309 in SVC
1133 to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented
disabilities. The website is http://www.sds.usf.edu/index.htm. INCOMPLETE GRADE The
following restates portions of USF Academic Policy from the USF Undergraduate
Manual concerning the “incomplete” grade Incomplete Grade Policy “It
may be awarded to an undergraduate student only when a small portion of the
students work is incomplete and only when the student is otherwise earning a
passing grade.” Academic Dishonesty “Each
individual is expected to earn his/her degree on the basis of personal
effort. Consequently Penalties for Academic Dishonesty “Penalties
for academic dishonesty will depend on the seriousness of the offense and may
include assignment of an “F” or a numerical value of zero on the subject
paper Disruption of Academic Process “Disruption
of the classroom or teaching environment is also unacceptable. This cannot be tolerated in the University
community Punishment Guidelines for Disruption of Academic Process “Punishment
for disruption of academic process will depend on the seriousness of the
disruption and will range from a private verbal reprimand to dismissal from
class with a final grade of “W In response to student requests and
instructor observations
The purpose of these class rules is to
eliminate activity that is disruptive to the academic process. Most students view these as a common courtesy
to the instructor and fellow students.
Failure to comply with a class rule will be viewed
as a Disruption to the Academic
Process. The penalty for such
disruption is given in the syllabus. |
