Homeworks: Homeworks
form an integral part of the course. They serve to strengthen and extend
concepts covered in class. They also help you in your preparation for the labs,
the quizzes, and ultimately the final exam. As such, it is crucial that you do
them carefully and thoroughly. You are expected to do the homeworks by
yourself. You can however consult with your classmates and discuss ideas. You
can also ask me questions whenever you are stuck. The assigned
problems/questions will be given in class. Homeworks will not be graded, but it is your responsibility to make
sure that you understand how to solve/answer the problems/questions. Homework
answers/solutions will be posted at the beginning of the following week.
Quizzes: There are four quizzes.
Dates of the quizzes are to be announced two weeks before the Quiz date.
Final Exam: The final exam is comprehensive and will
help in the determination of your final grade. It is a closed book exam.
Policy Reminders: Senate
and the Faculty of Engineering require all course outlines to include the
following reminders:
“The Faculty of Engineering is concerned with ensuring an environment
that is free of all adverse discrimination.
If there is a problem, that cannot be resolved by discussion among the
persons concerned, individuals are
reminded that they should contact the Department Chair, the Sexual Harassment
Officer or the Human Rights Consultant, as soon as possible.”
“Students are reminded that they should read and comply with the
Statement on Academic Ethics and the Senate Resolutions on Academic Dishonesty
as found in the Senate Policy Statements distributed at registration and
available in the Senate Office.”
"Academic dishonesty consists of misrepresentation by deception or by other fraudulent means and can result in serious consequences, e.g. the grade of zero on an assignment, loss of credit with a notation on the transcript (notation reads: "Grade of F assigned for academic dishonesty"), and/or suspension or expulsion from the university. It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty. For information on the various kinds of academic dishonesty please refer to the Academic Integrity Policy, specifically Appendix 3, located at
http://www.mcmaster.ca/senate/academic/ac_integrity.htm
The following illustrates only three forms of academic dishonesty:
1 Plagiarism, e.g. the submission of work that is not one's own or for which other credit has been obtained. (Insert specific course information, e.g. style guide)
2 Improper collaboration in group work. (Insert specific course information)
3 Copying or using unauthorized aids in tests and examinations.
Note on Calculators: The McMaster Standard Calculator (Casio fx991) may be used
on tests and examinations.
Teaching Assistants: Please e-mail the TA to make an appointment if you have any
questions. They will set aside two hours each week for questions you may have.
