Class Policies

• Attendance is essential to doing well in the course. The exams will focus primarily (but not exclusively) on material presented in the lectures.

• Closed books, closed notes

Project Policies

• Each project will be conducted by a team of 2-3 individuals.
• Teams must be formed by Wed. June 3.
• Each member of a team must present topics in charge during the project presentation in July.
• Each member of a team may not receive the same project grade.
• Each project must follow the methodologies explained in class.

Special Notes

• Students are supposed to use the Computer in the open lab. (308 State), Graduate Lab. (437 State), or may develop programs on their own computer. Please check the posted schedules for the labs.
• Homework Assignments must be done individually. Late submission penalty is 30%. No submission will be accepted beyond a week after the due date.
• No grades of I(incomplete) will be given without an excuse from a physician stating why the student was incapacitated on a given date or range of dates.
