Catalog Description:

Grading

• This course will utilize a "flipped" classroom. Lectures (video and slides) will be provided online for asynchronous viewing while the "lecture" time will be used as extended office hours and problem solving session.
• Students are expected to come to lecture prepared. We will not do a traditional lecture but instead answer questions and work on problems. You should come with your problems ready to ask. Additionally, lecture reading assignments should be completed before lecture in order to be successful.
• Class attendance during the "lecture" time is still required. It will be difficult to be successful if you are not engaged. Make sure you are reading the book and watching recorded lectures.
• Homework will be assigned weekly and may include problems for which Matlab be used.
• Students may study together in groups but all assignments must be completed individually. Copying homework is unacceptable and will result in a fail in the class with an F grade.
• Homework will be due via Webcampus (Canvas) on the designated date. No late homework will be accepted unless prior notification and arrangements are made.
• Class participation will be recorded through online questions (Webcampus classXX quizzes)
• Exams are cumulative but will emphasize new material. All exams will be closed book but will allow cheatsheets.
• Exams should be i) completed by you alone ii) without the use of any books or reference material other than explicitly allowed iii) without access to internet outside of Webcampus and iv) should not be discussed with any other student until after the exam is closed.
• NOTE: Homework and exams will be submitted online via Webcampus. You must obtain tools to scan or make pdf images of your work.

• Scanning Apps: It is recommended that you use an App on your phone for ease of use with on-device camera for creating electronic submissions. Select an App that is able convert an image into a pdf. It is beneficial to have functionality to detect the edges, correct the orientation, and remove/cleanup background. Good Apps include: Genius Scan, CamScanner, or Office Lens [Android][Apple]
