Notes:1.This syllabus may be changed by the instructor as needed for good adademic practice. Use the "refresh" or "reload" function on your browser.2.Quizzes and tests are open book (must have a legally obtained copy-no Xerox copies) OR one handwritten page of notes. Calculator allowed.3.There will be no make-up, or early exams given. Attendance is required for all tests.4.Americans with Disabilities Act: The University of Texas at Arlington is on record as being committed to both the spirit and letter of federal equal opportunity legislation; reference Public Law 92-112 - The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended. With the passage of federal legislation entitled Americans with

©rlc L01 27Aug2010

14

Disabilities Act (ADA), pursuant to section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, there is renewed focus on providing this population with the same opportunities enjoyed by all citizens. As a faculty member, I am required by law to provide "reasonable accommodations" to students with disabilities, so as not to discriminate on the basis of that disability. Student responsibility primarily rests with informing faculty of their need for accommodation and in providing authorized documentation through designated administrative channels. Information regarding specific diagnostic criteria and policies for obtaining academic accommodations can be found at www.uta.edu/disability. Also, you may visit the Office for Students with Disabilities in room 102 of University Hall or call them at (817) 272-3364.

5. Academic Integrity: It is the philosophy of The University of Texas at Arlington that academic dishonesty is a completely unacceptable mode of conduct and will not be tolerated in any form. All persons involved in academic dishonesty will be disciplined in accordance with University regulations and procedures. Discipline may include suspension or expulsion from the University. "Scholastic dishonesty includes but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, any act designed to give unfair advantage to a student or the attempt to commit such acts." (Regents’ Rules and Regulations, Series 50101, Section 2.2). See http://www.uta.edu/studentaffairs/conduct/.

6. Submit a signed copy of http://www.uta.edu/ee/COE%20Ethics%20Statement%20Fall%2007.pdf (the COE Ethics policy). Review the contents of this page and the website referenced in 5 above.

7. If identical material is submitted for grade by different students, the grade earned will be divided among all identical submissions.

8. A paper submitted for regrading will be compared to a copy of the original paper. If the paper does not agree with the original, points will be deducted.

9. Student Support Services Available: The University of Texas at Arlington supports a variety of student success programs to help you connect with the University and achieve academic success. These

©rlc L01 27Aug2010

17

programs include learning assistance, developmental education, advising and mentoring, admission and transition, and federally funded programs. Students requiring assistance academically, personally, or socially should contact the Office of Student Success Programs at 817-272-6107 for more information and appropriate referrals.

10. Final Review Week: A period of five class days prior to the first day of final examinations in the long sessions shall be designated as Final Review Week. The purpose of this week is to allow students sufficient time to prepare for final examinations. During this week, there shall be no scheduled activities such as required field trips or performances; and no instructor shall assign any themes, research problems or exercises of similar

©rlc L01 27Aug2010

18

scope that have a completion date during or following this week unless specified in the class syllabus. During Final Review Week, an instructor shall not give any examinations constituting 10% or more of the final grade, except makeup tests and laboratory examinations. In addition, no instructor shall give any portion of the final examination during Final Review Week. Classes are held as scheduled during this week and lectures and presentations may be given.

11. Librarian to Contact: See http://library.uta.edu/sel/ and http://libguides.uta.edu/content.php?pid=3545

12. Electronic Communication Policy: A UTA listserv is being established for EE 5340. All class communication will be conducted via this list. To sign up, go to https://listserv.uta.edu/archives/EE5340.html, click on the link "Join or Leave EE5340", or send e-mail to

©rlc L01 27Aug2010

19

[email protected] with the command "subscribe EE5340 your_name" (without the quotes) in the body of the message. You may receive communication from this listserv at any email address you choose. If you have questions, send email to [email protected]. In addition, the University of Texas at Arlington has adopted the University “MavMail” address as the sole official means of communication with students. MavMail is used to remind students of important deadlines, advertise events and activities, and permit the University to conduct official transactions exclusively by electronic means. For example, important information concerning registration, financial aid, payment of bills, and graduation are now sent to students through the MavMail system. All students are assigned a MavMail account. Students are responsible for checking

©rlc L01 27Aug2010

20

MavMail regularly. Information about activating and using MavMail is available at http://www.uta.edu/oit/email/. There is no additional charge to students for using this account, and it remains active even after they graduate from UT Arlington.

13. Grade Grievance Policy: Forms to report a grade grievance are available in the EE Office.
