1. Homework Instructions
All homework must be done in a spreadsheet (see
model). Make sure you label
the spreadsheet sufficiently so the instructor can identify the question
number, follow your work, and find your answer on the printout. Underline
your answers or put them in boxes. Print your spreadsheet out using 10-point
font size or larger. Also make sure the printout is legible. (Make sure
there is sufficient ink in the printer to print legible quality). Do not
use paper with other material printed on it (this is not good for the printer
and it makes my job grading your work harder). IF I CAN NOT FIGURE IT OUT,
YOU GET NO CREDIT.
2. Exercise Instructions
Most lexercises require you to provide answers on the instruction sheets,
supplemented with spreadsheets. You should attach in a logical order, any
computations, computer printouts, graphics and other relevant data or information
to the instruction sheet when you hand in the exercise. NO BACKUP-NO CREDIT!
3. Due Dates
All homework and laboratory reports are due in two weeks. Unless you have
permission of the instructor, late work will not be acceptable. If you think
your work will be late, contact me ASAP.
4. Ethics*
DO YOUR OWN WORK! IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, SEE THE INSTRUCTOR. ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT*
WILL RESULT IN A FAILING GRADE IN THIS COURSE AND DISCIPLINARY ACTION.
