2.Quizzes : 200pts3.Exams: Mid-term:200pts, and Final: 300pts

All quizzes, homework, projects(Computer Simulations), and exams are mandatory. Failure to take the finalexam will result in an F in the course, irrespective of whether or not you currently have a passing grade.

Please note that I do not anticipate scheduling any make-up exams. If you realize that you will miss an exam

as a result of a serious illness or another emergency, I must be informed as quickly as possible

After your homework , or quiz or exam is initially handed back, you have a week to challenge for thegrading. Besides it is not my responsibility of keeping your works after this period. Up to 2 wks l keep yourwork after returned and then it will be discarded.To help facilitate attendance during the semester, unannounced quizzes may be given, but biweekly basisquizzes will be expected.

The total points are divided by ten. (In case of not assigning the project, it will be announced in the middleof the semester).

A(90-100), B(80-89), C(70-79),D(60-69), and F (0-59)

Marks Description Points

Study Expectations: Since this is a 3-unit class, you are expected to study an average of 6 hours outside ofclass each week. Some students may require more study time outside of class, and others less.

Homework/ Computer Simulation Reports: Homework and/or Computer Simulation Reports will beassigned periodically throughout the semester and are intended to help you learn the material and provideinsight into the subject matter. Homework will generally be collected a week after it is assigned, and will

typically involve the problems each chapter we cover. All due dates will be announced in the class or viathe course blackboard website, please attend the class all the times, and check your email regularly for

announcements regarding this course Sloppy or unreadable homework is unacceptable, and may result in a0%. Furthermore, cheating (such as solutions being copied from the web or another source) will also receivea 0%, and may result in disciplinary action and significantly impact your grade. The front page of eachassignment must contain the following statement, signed and dated

by yourself:

I have done my own work and have neither given nor received

unauthorized assistance on this work.

If you work in a group in case of project, list the students you worked with on the front page of theassignment as well.

If your homework is required to be a hardcopy, your work is expected to be as neat as possible. If not, youwill lose the most of the homework credit. Also if more than one page is required for the homework, thepages mus t be stapled. If not, there is a 5 point penalty. No late homework will be accepted.

Examinations: There is one midterm scheduled (subject to change), in addition to a final exam. Themidterm will be based upon reading material, lecture presentations, class discussions, homework, andcomputer simulations. The midterm will cover all material from the beginning of class up to the exam. The

final will be comprehensive. If you cheat on homework (or are otherwise ill prepared to take an exam),youwill most likely fail the exam, as well as the course.

Note: I reserve the right to ask you to move to another chair at any time during an exam.

Professionalism:In preparation for the business world, students should refrain from unprofessionalbehavior. Students should act respectfully to other students as well as the professor. If a student engagesin disruptive behavior, the student will be dismissed from class. Examples of unprofessional (disruptive)

behavior include but are not limited to: Surfing the Internet Texting during class Reading a book, newspaper, or even notes for another course Private conversations Arriving to class late or leaving class early Listening to your I-pod

Cheating and Plagiarism: "Cheating is the actual or attempted practice of fraudulent or deceptive acts forthe purpose of improving one's grade or obtaining course credit; such acts also include assisting another

student to do so. Typically, such acts occur in relation to examinations. However, it is the intent of thisdefinition that the term 'cheating' not be limited to examination situations only, but that it include any andall actions by a student that are intended to gain an unearned academic advantage by fraudulent or deceptivemeans. Plagiarism is a specific form of cheating which consists of the misuse of the published and/orunpublished works of others by misrepresenting the material (i.e., their intellectual property) so used asone's own work." Penalties for cheating and plagiarism range from a 0 or F on a particular assignment,

through an F for the course, to expulsion from the university. For more information on the University'spolicy regarding cheating and plagiarism, refer to the Class Schedule (Legal Notices on Cheating andPlagiarism) or the University Catalog (Policies and Regulations).The campus subscribes to the Turnitin plagiarism prevention service (http://turnitin.com/), and you mayneed to submit written assignments to Turnitin via Blackboard (http://blackboard.csufresno.edu).
