Policy on makeup tests, late work, and incompletes Exams will be given only at the scheduled times and places, unless previous arrangements have been made no less than one (1) week in advance. No one is exempt from the exams. Makeup exams are given only if there is solid evidence of a medical or otherwise serious emergency that prevented the student from participating in the exam. Makeup exams will be administered and proctored by college personnel, unless there are other pre-approved arrangements. Late work is not acceptable. Incomplete grades are against the policy of the college. Unless there is solid evidence of medical or otherwise serious emergency situation, incomplete grades will not be given. Note: Incomplete grades are only reserved for those students who were passing but could not complete the required work due to exceptional circumstances.11. Special course requirements This is a writing intensive course (WAC-related). This course will not substitute for a Gordon Rule class. The goal of integrating writing in this course is to improve students ability to produce professional quality engineering reports.

You are responsible for reading all announcements posted by the instructor. Check the announcements each time you login to be sure you have read all of them since your last login session. To communicate within the course through Blackboard, the Ask the Professor discussion board link is the preferred method to contact your instructor. Except for Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, I will respond to messages generally within 48 hours. Asking course related questions in this way allows other participants with the same question to benefit from the responses. Also, make sure you review this forum prior to posting a question; it may have already been asked and answered in previous posts. Such messages should be used to communicate public matters. Only personal or confidential matters should be sent via email to the professor, all others will be ignored.

Disability policy statement In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA), students who require reasonable accommodations due to a disability to properly execute coursework must register with Student Accessibility Services (SAS)in Boca Raton, SU 133 (561-297-3880); in Davie, LA 203 (954-236-1222); or in Jupiter, SR 110 (561-799-8585) and follow all SAS procedures.14. Code of academic integrity Students at Դɼ are expected to maintain the highest ethical standards. Academic dishonesty is considered a serious breach of these ethical standards, because it interferes with the university mission to provide a high quality education in which no student enjoys unfair advantage over any other. Academic dishonesty is also destructive of the university community, which is grounded in a system of mutual trust and place high value on personal integrity and individual responsibility. Harsh penalties are associated with academic dishonesty.

D o n o t w a i t u n t i l the last minute to take exams; if you experience technical problems, they will take time to be resolved. Allocate ample time and ensure that there are no distractions during the time you are taking the test (especially if it is a timed test and/or only one attempt is allowed). Do not enter the test until you are ready to take it or you may be locked out of Blackboard (especially if it is set up to only allow limited attempts). Once you have entered a test, do not leave until finished. If you experience difficulty, immediately notify your instructor. Close all other applications, especially other internet sites or instant message applications like AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, etc. Maximize browser window and do not resize or refresh during the exam. Do not use the return/enter key or browser navigation buttons; use the buttons provide in the exam. If you must navigate between applications use keyboard commands (e.g. Alt T a b i n W i n d o w s ) .

Do not answer any questions until the entire test has loaded. You can follow the downloading by monitoring the browsers Status Bar Indicator found at the bottom of the browser window. Type answers to essay questions in a separate word processor, then copy and paste the answers into Blackboard (that is, into the text fields provided for each essay question).
