  • Collaboration policy: Discussing and exchanging ideas is encouraged. You may help each other with your strategy for how to solve a problem. However, copying from outside sources (e.g., other students, Internet, etc.) on any material to be graded is not permitted and will be considered cheating. Cheating may result in failure of the assignment/exam and/or failure of the class. The University’s policy on Academic Integrity, as stated in the catalog, will be enforced.
  • Exams: Unless otherwise specified by the instructor, only the final exam will be comprehensive, covering material from the entire course. The final exam will be held during final exam week. The rescheduling of exams must be arranged at least one week in advance. The new schedule of the exam must be earlier than the original scheduled day. Exams missed without prior permission will be given a grade of zero.
  • Homework and project assignments: Assignments will be posted online. No late submission will be accepted for homework assignment and the last project assignment. Other late submission for projects will incur a penalty of 10 points per day, including weekends.
  • Grading correction: Bring any homework/project or exam grading correction requests to the instructor within 1 week of receiving the grade, or before the end of the quarter, whichever comes first. After that, your grade will not be adjusted. If you find a mistake in grading, please let the instructor know. Your grade will not be lowered.
  • Announcement responsibility: Important announcements, schedule revisions, etc., will be posted to the class email list and on the course website. You are responsible for information distributed to this email list and the course website. You are also responsible for short announcement during class session.
  • Email policy: If you don’t check your email at your Cal Poly account, you may forward your mail to your desired email-account by setting up a forward file in your login directory. By putting your desired email address in this file, all your email will automatically forward to this address. I will only send email to your [email protected] account and I will not be responsible for any delay in your email. If you send email to me, please be sure to include your name, username and the course number in the body of the e-mail. You should also use an appropriate subject line. Failure to follow this guideline may result in delayed response.
  • Cell phones: You may have cell phones in class, but they must be on mute and not answered until the end of class.
  • Student access: Cal Poly Pomona is committed to student success. Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact the instructor privately or the Disability Resource Center (909-869-3333, Building 9-103) to coordinate course accommodations.
