SE 2030 Policies for Dr. Rob Hasker

• Regularly check my class web site https://faculty-web.msoe.edu/hasker/courses/se2030/ for new materials.

• You must periodically check your MSOE email.

• Grades will be based on a weighted average of all graded work. The MSOE grading scale will be used, though I reserve the right to improve grades for individual students if it increases fairness.

• Lab results and other assignments must be submitted at or before the specified time on the specified due date. Late assignments will be penalized by 10% of the maximum grade for every day they are late (note: Saturday and Sunday combined and counted as one day).

• Any assignment more than 1 calendar week late will be assigned a grade of 0 to help ensure students stay caught up on the material.

  Certain assignments, such as homework, demos, final reports, final projects, etc., will not be accepted late. No assignments will be accepted after 11:00pm on the Friday of week 10 except when explicitly noted.

  All assignments must be completed (even if they are late and receive a 0 grade). You will not pass the course if you do not hand in all assignments, substantially complete. You cannot simply disregard an assignment and take a 0 score.

• Any work you submit must be substantially complete and functional. If you submit work that is incomplete or non-functional, and you have never sought my help in resolving problems you may have encountered in getting your assignment to work, you will receive a grade of no higher than 50%.

• An exam missed because of an excused absence (such as illness or participation in an authorized university activity) can be made up by either taking a make-up exam or by increasing the weight of the remaining exams. The instructor will determine which is more appropriate. Except for illnesses, the instructor must be notified in advance. In the case of an illness, contact the instructor as soon as you can get to a phone or computer. Exams cannot be retaken to improve your grade. Except when excused in advance, you must take the final exam to receive a passing grade in the course.

• Except where otherwise announced, assignments are to be individual efforts. You may discuss the details of an assignment with other students, but for this course there should be little need to examine another student's solution. Electronic tools may be used to identify plagiarism, and a person who makes a solution available to others can be penalized just the same as the student who copies.

• Academic misconduct: You are responsible for honestly completing and representing your work, for appropriately citing sources, and for respecting the academic endeavors of others. You will be penalized for violating these standards and may even be expelled from the university.

• You have the right to miss class for religious observances. Notify your instructor of planned absences in advance.

• Reasonable accommodations will be provided for students with physical, sensory, cognitive, systemic, and psychiatric disabilities. Please discuss any accommodations you may need with your instructor.

• You are expected to read the text chapters and other materials as assigned.
