Assignments that are late will lose 10% of the possible points for each day the assignment is late. If you do not have internet access at your home, there are computer labs on campus that you can use before the start of class.

 * Attendance **
 * Outside Assistance **

Don’t cheat. Cheating consists of taking someone else’s work, words or thoughts without giving credit to the source. On research essays you must cite your sources if you used their ideas. If you directly copy their words then you must give credit with quotations.
 * Academic Honesty **

On laboratory reports if you use other people data you must cite them in your report. The penalty for plagiarism can be a 0 for the assignment for the first occurrence. The second offense can lead to automatic failure in the course.

This is a college course; you will have to spend your time wisely to finish the course work. You are in charge of your time and if you waste your time then I will be less likely to help you after class hours.
 * Time Management **

To receive credit in the class you will need to perform well on both your class work grade and receiving a passing grade on the Final Exam**. Final Exam ** The final exam will be an open book, open notes, weeklong take home exam. Concepts tested on the final exam are taken from the student learn sheets and from the laboratory reports. You must pass the final exam to receive college credit for the class. Syllabus
