|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, save your program for the last time. We will save the program on a thumb drive and send the Mfile via email. |

|Allowed: |

|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. |

|Textbook |

|MATLAB, and MATLAB help only. |

|Notepad (3rd test). |

|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 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, the |

|difference will be added to every registered student’s grade for that test. |

| |

|Guaranteed Grading Scale: |

|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 May 15, 2012 will be discarded. |

| |

|ATTENDANCE |

|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, and on random attendance taken during the class. Refer to the affidavit sheet you|

|signed for full explanation and the sample memo needed for excuse. |

| |

|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 POLICY |

|Re-grading of a test, homework, or computer project should be requested within five working days of it being returned to you. |

|Re-grading after the final grade has been assigned for the course will be allowed only in extreme circumstances. Mistakes in the |

|grade book entries should be rectified as soon as possible to avoid any change of grade issues. You will need a copy of all your |

|graded tests for verification. KEEP ALL YOUR GRADED PAPERS UNTIL YOU CONFIRM YOUR FINAL LETTER GRADE. |

|GRADES ON THE WEB |

|Grades will be updated on the web () after grading of each quiz/test. |

| |

|Back to Top |

|MISSED EXAMINATIONS |

|NO make-up tests will be given. However, in the event of a serious illness (physician's statement documenting severity of illness |

|required), death in the family or other legitimate, documented, verifiable emergency resulting in the absence from a schedule test,|

|each case will be evaluated separately. The decision of the instructor is final. An example of a make-up score is that if you |

|miss a test, you may be given the same grade as the next test, and so on. Curving of make-up exam grades is at the discretion of |

|the instructor. |

| |

|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 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. |

|INCOMPLETE GRADE, ACADEMIC DISHONESTY, AND DISRUPTION OF ACADEMIC PROCESS |

|The following restates portions of USF Academic Policy from the USF Undergraduate Manual concerning the “incomplete” grade, |

|academic dishonesty, and disruption of academic process. The faculty of the Department of Mechanical Engineering requests all |

|students in the department to be informed of these policies. |

|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, any form of cheating on |

|examinations or plagiarism on assigned papers constitutes unacceptable deceit and dishonesty.” |

| |

|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, lab report, etc., an “F” or an “FF” grade (the latter indicating academic dishonesty)|

|in the course, suspension or expulsion from the University.” In this course, a FF is assigned for any cheating in the assigned HW,|

|quizzes, and/or competency tests. |

| |

|Disruption of Academic Process |

|“Disruption of the classroom or teaching environment is also unacceptable. This cannot be tolerated in the University community, |

|and will be punishable, according to the seriousness of the offense.” |

| |

|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,” if the student is passing the course. If the student is not |

|passing, a grade of “F” will be shown on the student record. Particularly serious instances of disruption of the academic process |

|may result in suspension or permanent expulsion from the University.” |

| |

|Back to Top |

|CLASS RULES |

|In response to student requests and instructor observations, the following class rules will apply in this course: |

| |

|Put the cell phones on silent or vibrate. Cell phones should be out of sight and not answered inside the classroom. |

|No checking of e-mail or internet surfing in the class or during the breaks. This rule applies as soon as you sit in your seat in |

|the classroom. |

|No food or drink. |

|No talking during lecture (except for questions to instructor). |

|No reading newspapers or magazines or solving crossword puzzles, etc during lecture. |

|No working on other course work during lecture. |

|No use of laptops. |

|No use of portable electronic music devices (mp3 players, ipods, etc). |

| |

|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. |
