Homework


Weekly problem set assignments will be due on Thursday in lecture. No late problem sets will be accepted except in extenuating circumstances.



Laboratory Sessions


Students will attend one assigned three hour lab session in the 5 weeks indicated on the schedule. Note that graduate students and undergraduate students will meet in alternate weeks, and that there are 5 labs scheduled during the term. Students will receive a grade of zero for missed lab sessions. A prelab will be assigned in the week preceding the lab exercise. The prelab is due at the start of the assigned lab session. Prelabs will not be accepted more than 5 minutes after the start of the lab session. Lateness to the lab will also reduce the lab portion of the student's score. Each student must submit an individual lab report at the end of the lab session. Lab reports will not be accepted after the end of the lab session. The lab grade will be based upon the prelab (50%), and lab report scores (50%).



Quizzes


Two closed-book quizzes will be given. There are no laboratory sessions during the weeks of quizzes. The quizzes are closed-book. One sheet of notes will be permitted in Quiz #1. Two sheets of notes will be permitted in Quiz #2.



Final Exam


A three hour closed-book final exam will be held during the final exam period. Four sheets of notes will be permitted in the final.



Grading


The course grade will be based upon the students' performance in the laboratories, homework, quizzes, and final exam.

The department of Mechanical Engineering has adopted the following guidelines for the grade distribution in undergraduate courses: approximately 25% A, 40% B, 25% C, not more than 10% D and F. We will use this as a starting point in assigning grades, but will not be bound to such a distribution.
