Code of conduct
All work products must be characterized by academic honesty and professional integrity. You are responsible for appropriate
citation of your primary and secondary sources, and for respect of others' work products (including other students work like old
lab reports). Plagiarism will result in zero for the work and may result in failure of the course. In other words, develop and
physically make every entry into every electronic file and written paper you claim as your individual work.
Grading:
Quizzes 40% (Missed quizzes may not be made up. Lowest quiz dropped.)
Midterm test 20%
Exam 20%
Lab average 20 %. (Laboratory attendance is required).
Distribution and breaks (generally 90, 80, 70, 60) determine the letter grade. Plus/minus grades will be issued at the discretion of the
instructor. A W withdrawal will be allowed after a revised degree plan is approved by your academic advisor or the instructor.
