|Exam 1 |22% |A |90% - 100% |

|Exam 2 |22% |B |80% - 89% |

|Exam 4 |22% |D |60% - 69% |

| | |F |59% or below |

|General Policies and Expectations: |

|Attendance at all classes is highly encouraged. Concepts and ideas discussed in one class are used as building blocks for more concepts and ideas in|

|the next class. In being successful in this subject matter, a good rule-of-thumb is to study at least 3 hours per one hour of lecture. Any class |

|session missed by the student is the student's responsibility to make up, not the Professor's. Makeup exams will NOT be given; instead, the last |

|exam will count in place of the missed exam. If the last exam is missed, instead of a zero for the missed exam, 75% of the average of the first |

|three exams will be used as the exam grade for the last exam. Project assignments MUST be turned in on time to receive full credit. Late project |

|assignments will be graded severely – for each day the assignment is late, the assignment’s grade will be reduced by 20%. Students will not be |

|allowed to makeup missed project assignments. Students are expected to read the text and any other supporting documentation the Professor |

|distributes. If the student requires additional materials to read or additional problems to solve in better understanding the topics and concepts, |

|the Professor expects the student to take the initiative in locating additional materials or problems. The Professor expects students to take |

|advantage of office hours when needing clarification or help. The Professor greatly supports students sending emails at any time – it will be the |

|goal of the Professor to reply to emails within a 24-hour time span. Be sure and provide the Professor a functioning email address for you. Exams |

|should be returned to the Professor in class right after the review for the student to receive a grade. Grades are not logged until the students |

|have reviewed the exams for grading mistakes. If students take the exam from the classroom, a grading penalty of 30-50% will be used due to the |

|fact the Professor has no real way of determining if the exam was tampered with or not. |

|Withdrawal Policy: |

|The last day to withdrawal without academic penalty is February 26, 2020. Ceasing to attend class or oral notice thereof DOES NOT constitute |

|official withdrawal and will result in the rendering of a grade of “F” for the class. Students wishing to withdrawal after the scheduled change |

|period (add/drop) must obtain and complete a withdrawal form from the Academic Services Department in the Registrar’s Office. |

|Enrollment Policy: |

|Only those students who are enrolled in the class may attend lectures, receive assignments, take quizzes and exams, and receive a grade in the |

|class. If a student is administratively withdrawn from this course, they will not be permitted to attend class nor will they receive any grade for |

|the class. |

|Academic Integrity Statement: |

|Every KSU student is responsible for upholding the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct, as published in the Undergraduate and Graduate |

|Catalogs. Section II of the Student Code of Conduct addresses the University's policy on academic honesty, including provisions regarding |

|plagiarism and cheating, unauthorized access to University materials, misrepresentation/falsification of University records or academic work, |

|malicious removal, retention, or destruction of library materials, malicious/intentional misuse of computer facilities and/or services, and misuse |

|of student identification cards. Incidents of alleged academic misconduct will be handled through the established procedures of the University |

|Judiciary Program, which includes either an "informal" resolution by a faculty member, resulting in a grade adjustment, or a formal hearing |

|procedure, which may subject a student to the Code of Conduct's minimum one semester suspension requirement. |

| |

|The provisions of the STUDENT CONDUCT REGULATIONS II regarding Academic Honesty in the KSU Undergraduate and Graduate catalogs will be strictly |

|enforced in this class. |

| |

|It is the student’s responsibility to ensure they fully understand to what extent they may collaborate or discuss content with other students. No |

|exam work may be performed with the assistance of others or outside material unless specifically instructed as permissible. If an exam or |

|assignment is designated “no outside assistance” this includes, but is not limited to, peers, books, publications, the Internet and the WWW. If a |

|student is instructed to provide citations for sources, proper use of citation support is expected. Additional information can be found at the |

|following locations. |
