7. Evaluation Notes:
(a) Homework: Homework
is assigned on a biweekly basis and is meant to review/emphasize important key
learning concepts and calculations.
(b) Quizzes: Short in-class
or take-home quizzes will be assigned 3 times per semester to consolidate
knowledge learned in class.
(c)
Exams: 3 x in-class exams: mid-term exam 1, mid-term exam 2, and final exam.
Final exam is not comprehensive, but covers topics the instructor deems
important.
(d)
**Laboratory: (Administered by Lab Instructor, Dr. Sinha)
- Students
work in teams during lab sessions, but each person is responsible for his/her
own report.
- Electronic copies of lab reports &
assignments are to be turned in via iLearn on
designated dates.
- Attendance and on-time assignments/reports each
contributes 50% of lab grade.
(e)
**Project: (Administered by Lab Instructors, Dr. Sinha)
- Teams of 3
persons will work on a “materials-related project”.
- A final oral presentation and a final written
report are required.
- Electronic copies of presentation file (.ppt) and final report are to be submitted via iLearn.
- Grade is assigned on a team basis, with
consideration given to individual performance.
(f)
Special Note: Late work is not accepted. Incomplete grade will
not be assigned in this class. Cheating and/or plagiarism result in a letter
grade F with immediate effect.
