Midterm Exam (25%). A midterm exam will be given approximately half-way through the semester
Final Exam (35%). A comprehensive oral final exam will be given during the final exam week.

Attendance Policy and Rules

Attendance at each class is required. Class participation is a key component of the course grade. If you cannot make it to class, you must contact me prior to class.
Don't be late to class. When students stroll in late, I always lose my train of thought…and then I have to start all over again.
Cell phones: off. Instant messaging: don't even think about it. (Obviously, if you have some sort of emergency situation where you need to leave your cell phone on, please let me know prior to class.)
Bring your calculators to class, since we will work on a lot of problems in class.
Lap tops are allowed for calculation and/or note taking, but surfing the web is forbidden, unless I ask you to visit a URL in support of the lecture.
Homework must be done on engineering paper and in engineering problem solving format: known, find, given, schematic diagram, assumptions and analysis.
Homework is due at the beginning of class; drop it off in front of the class on your way in. Late homework assignments will not be accepted unless approved ahead of time by the instructor.
