- Attendance policy: Attendance is not taken, but
you are responsible for all assigned material,
whether it is presented in lecture or not. You are
also responsible for knowing the deadlines for all
assignments and for any announcements of changes
in the schedule that may be made in lecture.
- Illness (as an excuse) must always be
established in writing (e-mail is acceptable).
- If you do not submit an assignment on time or
miss an exam (including being late and for
illness), you will receive a grade of zero, unless
you have prearranged approval by your professor.
Messages of any kind including, but not limited
to, email, telephone message, oral messages of any
kind, notes delivered by a third party, etc., are
not acceptable by themselves without a response by
your professor. Any oral approval given by your
professor must be confirmed in writing.
- There will be no rescheduling of exams or
quizzes to accommodate individual students. Exams
and quizzes are excused only for
instructor-approved personal or family medical
emergencies, official university travel, or
certain religious holidays. http://college.as.virginia.edu/absence_regulations
- As stated above, no makeup midterm exams will be
given. Missed exams receive a grade of zero
unless an excused absence is granted by the
professor before the
exam.
- Each student enrolled in the course will receive
a grade at the end of term; a grade of incomplete
will not be used. If, for whatever reason, you
cannot keep up with the course requirements then
you are expected to withdraw from the course. The
last day to withdraw from the course depends on
your program and can be found using the
"Add/Drop/Withdrawal" at http://www.virginia.edu/registrar/calendar.html.
- You may work together on the homework, but you
must personally work out the solution and submit
this to
WebAssign yourself.
- The honor pledge is implicit
for the exams and homework. By turning in an exam
or assignment, with or without a written pledge, a
student agrees to be bound by the honor pledge and
the UVa Honor System with regard to that
item. It is the responsibility of each
student to learn the rules of the UVa Honor
System.
- Final words on grading
o) All grading is final except in cases where the
scores were added or recorded incorrectly.
o) We will not discuss whether students are on the
"threshold" of the next higher semester grade.
That information only promotes grade grubbing,
which is strongly discouraged.
o) No extra credit work is given. Extensions
to deadlines or regrading will not be offered for
cases of internet outages, computer problems,
incorrect entry of answers, etc. Start your
work early and study the tutorial on the homework
system.
