Course Policies

• Announcements will be made in class or by e-mail.  I have an e-mail list of all registered students structured as "uniqname@umich.edu" - please make sure that this address properly forwards to your account.  If for some reason, you require a different address, please send me a note.
• Access to Matlab is a requirement for this course.
• Course grades will be assigned on a curve, though in general achieving a 90% or higher should earn a least an A- and 80% of higher should earn at least a B-.  No incompletes will be given except as specified by UM policy.
• If you find small mistakes in the grading, I will try to fix those immediately.  For a substantial regrading of you homeworks or exams, I may request that you submit your entire assignment/exam for regrading.
• I will discard your lowest homework grade.  I recommend that you complete all assignments, but this gives you some flexibility if you need to travel, become ill, etc.
• All homework sets are due at the end of class on the due date, though in general, I will allow a grace period until 8 am the next morning.  You should push the complete assignment under the door at Gerstaker 2119 so that it is there by 8 am.  Beyond this grace period, absolutely no late assignments will be accepted.
• Homework policies:
• You should attempt to do all homework problems yourself.
• Only after you have made an attempt to solve the problem on your own may you discuss it with your classmates.
• After this, you must still write up your own solutions.
• Actual copying of matlab code, etc. is strictly forbidden.
• For computer (e.g. matlab) assignment, you should hand in the all .m files as well as plots and figures.
• You are require to abide by the UM Engineering Honor Code as described in http://honor.personal.engin.umich.edu/ .  Exams will not be graded without a signed honor code statement.
