Grading: 

Additional Notes

1. Regularly check my class web site https://faculty-web.msoe.edu/hasker/se2800/ for new materials.
2. You must periodically check your MSOE email.
3. 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. In addition, successfully demonstrating mastery of course outcomes is a prerequisite for a passing grade. This includes completing assignments even if worth zero points and taking the final exam.
4. Lab results and other assignments must be submitted at or before the specified time on the specified due date. Late submissions may be penalized, and any work more than three days late will be worth zero points.
5. At least one of the lowest quiz or homework scores will be dropped.
6. 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.
7. Academic misconduct: You are responsible for honestly completing and representing your work, for appropriately citing sources, and for respecting the academic endeavors of others. Electronic tools may be used to identify plagiarism. You will be penalized for violating these standards and may even be expelled.
8. DO NOT SKIP CLASS! If you do happen to miss, be sure to check for new materials and get the notes you missed from a friend before the next class period. You are responsible for anything missed!
9. You have the right to miss class for religious observances. Notify your instructor of planned absences in advance.
10. 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.
11. You are expected to read the text chapters and other materials as assigned.
