Grading Grading is based on a percentage system, not on a curve. Note I do not GIVE out grades, you EARN them!

Grading Scale A = 90 100% B = 80-89% C = 70-79%

Communication and Blackboard I will use the internet regularly to communicate with students. I typically post homework, assignments, & any other handouts on the course website (URL: www.sacbusiness.org/engineering/takahashic), NOT Blackboard. I will use Blackboard (Bb) to post grades (rsccd.blackboard.com) & possibly some other purposes (assessments). It is YOUR responsibility to check these sites regularly. Blackboard (Bb) is a web-based program used to manage courses. Bb requires official enrollment in the course (you log on). If you are unfamiliar with Bb, see me right away. The Bb login username & password are the same as the WebAdvisor (sis.rsccd.edu) system, which emails this info to new and returning students. If you have not received an email with this information contact the Admissions Office. Upon first logging into WebAdvisor, you will be prompted to change the temporary password. Your login remains the same each semester, but may be changed by you at any time. If you change your WebAdvisor password, then your Blackboard password changes too. If you have trouble with Bb, contact the Distance Education office (714564-6725, Room A-101). Email I communicate regularly with the class through email. I get student email addresses from the WebAdvisor system, so you are responsible for having a valid email on WebAdvisor. If not, you will miss my class-wide emails, & YOU become responsible for communicating with classmates about any missed notifications or handouts emailed by me. When emailing me, always indicate which class you are in (Eg, Engr 122). If you change your email address, notify me by email, indicating the class of mine you are in. Assessments: Assignments may take various forms of work (homework (hw), lab work (labs), project, write up based on class activities like a film, guest speaker, etc.). Assignments are typically assigned weekly and are due 1 week later in the first 15 minutes of lecture. Any work submitted after the first 15 minutes will receive half credit. Any work submitted after the class period is LATE & will receive a score of 0. Occasionally, I assign same-day assignments, which are due the same day it is assigned (often based on an in-class activity, like a film or guest speaker). All work must be labeled in the upper right of the front sheet with student first & last name, course #, & hw # (e.g., John Does, Engr 100A, hw #1), except in drafting classes where this information must appear in the title block of EACH sheet. All work must be stapled in the upper-left with pages oriented consistently (in drafting classes, the staple should be upper-left with the pages oriented as landscape), & with problems in the order assigned or points will be deducted. The lowest assignment score will be dropped to account for life issues. Emailed work is not accepted. Assignments & absences If you miss lecture & want hw credit, you must arrange for that work to be turned in ON TIME. You cant just turn it in when you return. I do not accept emailed work. If you are absent on a day of a same-day assignment, you cannot get credit for that work & there are no make-ups. Exams (see tentative schedule for how many) any exam not taken during the allotted time, including BEFORE the allotted time, is a make-up exam. Make-up exams are highly discouraged, granted at the instructors discretion, & allowed only once. Students must request a make-up exam in a timely fashion (before or within 1 day of the exam) & must provide documentation to verify the cause of the missed exam. Make-ups have an automatic 15% deduction (REGARDLESS OF CAUSE) if taken the week following the allotted time (more deductions apply if taken even later). There are no make-ups for final exam. Final project (see tentative schedule). Projects must be worked on independently unless otherwise noted. No late projects will be accepted. Lab conduct (applicable to classes with a lab or hands-on activities) is related to the level of care you give to yourself, your fellow students, the lab equipment, the classroom, & to lab organization, safety, and cleanup (putting stuff away properly and neatly). Participation (if indicated) is not simply based on attendance, but instead on the level of involvement in the class (e.g.: turning in assignments, actively listening to lecture, asking questions, going to office hours, and engaging in healthy dialogue with instructor & others). 3 of 4

Course policy and conduct Formal reviews If you feel an assignment (hw, lab, project, or exam) was graded in error and wish for the work to be re-graded, you must request a formal review within 7 days of the work being returned to you (after the 7 day period, the work will not be re-graded). Submit a typed cover sheet with your full name, student number, date, and description of the assignment that you want reviewed. Explain in detail (using sketches or drawings if necessary) why the grading was incorrect & why your score should be higher. Staple the questionable assignment to the cover sheet. A review will evaluate the entire assignment, not just the issue with which you were concerned. Thus, the review may possibly result in a lower overall score. An incorrectly-entered grade in Blackboard does NOT require a review. Just inform me within 7 days of the grade posting and show me the graded work. Honesty/Integrity Policy although you are encouraged to communicate with classmates about course concepts, you may only turn in your own work. Any assignment that has been deemed plagiarized or copied is cheating and will receive a score of 0 (for both the copier and the one who allowed the copying). Any student who violates this rule a second time will be given an F for the course. Projects must be worked on independently unless otherwise specified. A student found cheating on any exam will receive a 0 for that exam. A second instance of cheating will result in an F grade for the course. Attendance/absences Students MAY be dropped if they do not appear for the first class meeting or if they reach 3 total absences for the semester (including those prior to adding the class). Attendance is tracked by your initialing of a sign-in sheet each week. YOU are responsible for initialing the sheet, you are considered absent if you forget to initial the sign-in sheet. Do NOT sign in for anyone else! This is fraud, and you may be dropped from the class if you do this. If you are absent, you are responsible for getting class notes, handouts, and/or directions from a classmate. If you miss lecture, hw is still due (see hw section above). Lack of participation Drop Policy students may be dropped due to lack of participation. This includes poor participation in team projects or failure to turn in hw. For hw, a student scoring less than 50% on 4 or more assignments may be dropped. Withdraws students are responsible for officially withdrawing from classes they do not plan to complete. Do not expect the instructor to drop you due to excessive absence. The deadline for withdrawing from class is the end of the 12th week of the semester. After this time, a student CANNOT withdraw & WILL receive a letter grade for the course. Under extenuating circumstances (such as verified cases of accident, illness, or death in the family & other conditions beyond the control of the student), a student may be reinstated by contacting the instructor. Students are responsible for checking the semester schedule for important dates such as holidays and drop dates. Student with Disabilities students with verifiable disabilities who want to request academic accommodations must notify Disabled Student Programs & Services (DSPS; x6260, 6384 TDD for deaf students, U103) and myself as soon as possible. Pagers or Cell Phones please be considerate to your classmates & turn off (or set to vibrate) all pagers and cell phones while in the classroom. If you are on-call for emergencies (medical, childbirth, etc.), please let me know at the beginning of the class. Students may be asked to leave the class session for cell phone/pager violations. Food students may not bring food or drink into the classrooms. Water in a closable container is okay. Other any student claims about something I verbally allowed (e.g., you said I could take a make-up final, you said there was no hw, you said I would not be dropped even if I missed most of the lectures, etc.) must be substantiated with some type of verifiable documentation in particular, an email from me. If it isnt documented, it didnt happen.
