MECH344 Course Policies Spring 2013

Homework GuidelinesAll homework will be turned in as individual effort. Your homework average for the semester is worth 15% of your final grade. The following grading criteria will be imposed, in order to (a) encourage thorough understanding of the material and (b) provide practice at clearly presenting information for future career situations. Although discussion of homework with your peers is allowed and even encouraged, the homework you turn in must be your own work. Use engineering paper and only write on one side. Staple sheets together. If software programs like MS Excel, MathCad, MatLab, etc are used, please print out critical parts of the material you generate and staple, cut, paste, or tape into your homework submission. Hand writing of the homework is encouraged to help you develop a knack for solving problems on paper as will be expected on tests. Homework must be submitted before the beginning of class the day it is due. If have trouble getting to class early, you should turn in your homework the day before (e.g., by sliding it under my office door or handing it directly to the TA). Late work will not be accepted without penalty (e.g., few minutes late: -5%; after class: -20%; few hours late: -50%; more than a day late: -100%) unless there are un-anticipatable and unavoidable circumstances. The following guidelines are suggested for you to obtain the maximum number of points possible on the homework: 1. Show the equations used to solve the problem. 2. Show the values used in each equation. Please list the values or place them in the equation in the appropriate location. 3. Show any required derivations or analyses used to reach the solution. 4. Show any tables or plots necessary to demonstrate an understanding of the problem. All tables and plots must have labels along with units. 5. Show the answer to the problem by circling or highlighting your answer and include any necessary written explanation or conclusion. In most cases only one randomly selected problem per week will be evaluated in detail to determine your homework grade. In these cases, the other problems will be quickly checked for completeness. Upon return of the homework, please compare your work with the solutions posted on RAM-CT to make sure that you understand the problems. If you still have questions, do not hesitate to speak with Mr. Rath or with Dr. Williams during their office hours or if necessary during other times by phone or email. Quizzes, Exams, and Academic IntegrityThe relatively frequent in-class quizzes and exams (total of ~7-10 or more) are intended to help the student keep current with the material. So make sure you thoroughly understand all of the homework problems you turn in, keep current on text book reading, and pay attention during class. Make-up quizzes and exams will be given only in the event of un-anticipatable and unavoidable circumstances. It is likely that a makeup quiz or exam will be accomplished in an oral exam format where you will stand at a board and answer questions. Any form of cheating will result in severe penalties (e.g., F in the course or expulsion from the university). NOTE: the Student Rights and Responsibilities section of the University General Catalog provides general policies of conduct. Particularly important is the sub-section on Academic Integrity. Also note the important department policies listed on the following pages. Conflict Resolution Regarding GradingAny disagreement with homework, quiz, or exam grading must be settled with Dr. Williams within one week after the graded material is returned. A written explanation of your point of

contention must be provided prior to making an appointment to discuss the situation (with the exception of mistakes Dr. Williams makes on scoring). Please plan on an enjoyable and nonconfrontational discussion of heat transfer concepts during your appointment. GradingTraditional grading will be used with the standard scale A = 100-90, B = 90-80, C = 80-70, D = 70-60, and F < 60. A sliding scale will be applied as necessary. Email and RamCT Discussion PolicyGeneral questions made via email should be directed to your TA, Mr. Jordan Rath, at the email address listed above. Jordan is also managing the RamCT Discussion Board for this class with Dr. Williams' help. Please plan on using this resource to assist mastery of the course material. Jordan is very familiar with the heat and mass transfer course and its policies, and he will be able to answer most of your questions quickly. Jordan will direct any unanswered questions to Dr. Williams. Please use professional and respectful email communications at all times. Testing PolicyStudents are expected to take tests prepared. Bring your own pens, pencils, and erasers. Dr. Williams will not provide help or answer questions during tests. All quizzes and tests are closed book. For tests, you are allowed to bring 2 pages of notes, which must be turned in with your test. Only FE approved calculators can be used. (http://ncees.org/exams/calculator-policy/) Lecture PolicyStudents are expected to show respect to other students and Dr. Williams during lectures. Turn off cell phones and laptops. Do not read the newspaper or work the crossword puzzle. Do not engage in conversation or other activities with other students. Be in the classroom on time. Do not leave early. Please ask questions related to the lecture and reserve other questions having to do with test dates, homework due dates, etc. for the TAs and during Dr. Williams office hours. Use common sense. All lectures have learning objectives and important information that you will be responsible for knowing, and you will distract the professor and other students if you do not abide by the above expectations. If you do not wish to actively listen to the lecture, please do not come to class. Emails Related to MECH344 CourseAll class-wide email announcements will be sent via ARIESweb to your primary email address. Please make sure that your primary CSU email address is the one you check frequently. The class-wide emails may contain important information regarding homework, quizzes, tests, practice problems, etc.
Department of Mechanical Engineering Student Academic Integrity Policy Our department is a broad community of scholars striving for excellence, working to create and understand knowledge in a profession with established professional ethics. As members of this community you are expected to be full participants in the educational process that results in accomplished mechanical engineers. Academic misconduct not only violates our professional ethics, it short circuits the knowledge and skills necessary to practice the profession. As such, the faculty of the department requires that each student exhibit academic integrity in all university related work. Doing any less violates the core of our profession and our academic community. In the Policies and Guiding Principles Section of the Colorado State University General Catalog, academic integrity is defined as doing and taking credit for ones own work. The section further notes that Academic

misconduct undermines the educational experience at Colorado State University, lowers morale by engendering a skeptical attitude about the quality of education, and negatively affects the relationship between students and professors. This section of the catalog describes (i) academic honesty that all students in the university are expected to adhere to, (ii) examples of academic misconduct, and (iii) processes established and used when academic honesty is violated. You are expected to be aware of, and meet, these obligations. As applied in our department, academic misconduct may further occur in the following ways: 1. Homework Assignments: Homework is given to ensure that you understand and can correctly apply course material. These are cornerstones of the educational process. Academic misconduct eliminates the educational discovery process (the aha moment) necessary in understanding. For all problems given in a homework assignment: You may freely obtain help (but not explicit solutions) from tutors, your instructor, your GTAs, or in study groups of students in the same class, and you may check your answers with these sources if available. b. Joint development of solutions in student study groups is allowed - evidence suggests that groups greatly aid the educational process. However, all work turned in for credit must be explicitly written up by you. c. Copying solutions/answers from any source (past or current students, joint work in a student group, solutions manuals, internet sources, course and/or exam files, network drives) is plagiarism and is prohibited. d. Consulting material containing solutions (solutions manuals, internet sources, past students, course files) is prohibited. Unauthorized possession or disposition of such materials is also prohibited. e. Allowing students access to your homework solutions, or offering or making available homework solutions is considered facilitation of academic misconduct and is prohibited. 2. Examinations and Quizzes: Examinations (all quizzes, examinations and finals) must consist of your own personal work without consultation with others and without prohibited materials or processes. You are prohibited from possessing or using any materials of any form (electronic devices, books, notes, equations, tables ) except those which the instructor has explicitly authorized for that exam or quiz alone. b. You must not consult or possess previous examinations (even if publicly available) and/or their solutions unless they are either provided by, or explicitly approved by the current course instructor. c. Offering or making available exams, exam solutions, and/or exam answers is considered facilitation of academic misconduct and is prohibited. 3. Harassment-Free Academic Environment: The faculty of the Mechanical Engineering department is committed to providing open, honest environments for our intellectual pursuits. Any action in a group or class situation (whether or not in relation to race, color, religion, sex, national orientation, age, disability, or sexual orientation) resulting in the perception of an intimidating, harassing, retaliatory, hostile or offensive environment is a violation of our educational communitys obligation to provide open, safe, conducive learning environments and will not be tolerated. Any perception of harassment will be reported to the Colorado State University Office of Equal Opportunity, which is tasked by the state to investigate incidents of this nature. 4. Consequences for Academic Misconduct: The consequences of academic misconduct include failing the course, but will minimally result in loss of credit (including the possibility of negative credit) for the assignment(s) in question. Note that all cases of academic misconduct are referred to Student Conflict Services which may result in more serious sanctions including disallowing repeat/delete for the course in question, marking the students transcript with AD to signify academic dishonesty, or such other sanctions as negotiated between the faculty member and the Student Conduct Services Hearing Officer. Academic Honesty: The Mechanical Engineering Department demands that all students meet the academic honesty requirements described in the Policies and Guiding Principles Section of the Colorado State University General Catalog, and the Student Academic Integrity Policy of the Department. Please locate and review these sections. Violations of these obligations will result in sanctions that minimally result in negative credit. a. a.
