Homework:

Since teamwork is an essential part of any design

environment, the class will be divided into groups of threestudents. You will work on your homework in these

groups.

Each member of the group must actively participate in

the group discussions and solving each problem set onpaper for his/her name to be included in the solution the

group turns in.

Any violation of this constitutes cheating, therefore a

violation of GIT Honor Code. At the end of the semester, you will rate each others

participation level in homework through an anonymous

peer evaluation.

Homework scores will then be adjusted for each memberbased on his or her artici ation.

Homework (Contd):

Sets of homework will be assigned regularly, and they will

be collected a week later.

Solutions will be provided at the time each graded

homework papers are returned.

You are forbidden f rom coping from old homework

solutions, or coping fr om solution manuals. To do so wil l

be considered a violation of the Georgia Techs Honor

Code.

The same applies to any takehome test or exam.

You can use one page formula sheet during each test. You

will turn in your formula sheet with your test paper.

Final exam will be open book.

Note (Contd)

Only in the case of extenuating circumstance would

permission be granted to take the test or exam early.

Quizzes and extra credit problems are impromptu;

therefore, there will be no make-up for them.

No extra work will given for grade improvement.
