Course Policies:
Homework: Homework will be assigned and graded in MasteringEngineering and solutions will be
posted. It is very important that you perform the homework on your own before you utilize the
solutions to identify your errors. No late homework submission will be accepted for any excuse.
Quiz: Pop-up quizzes will be given in class without advance announcement. No make-up quiz will
be arranged for any excuse.
Exam: Excusable absence from the scheduled exam is accepted only if the instructor is informed
before the event such as illness and non-reschedulable prior appointment, or after the event such as
last-minute medical or other emergencies, within a reasonable time frame and with a valid
documentary proof (e.g., medical memo from doctor, letter from employer, etc.). In all cases,
academic honesty is expected. Under this condition, a make-up test will be honored.
No 4-C Policy: No Cell-phone, Computer (unless taking notes or test), Chatting, or Cheating is
allowed in this class.
Learning Strategy: Simply reading the solutions is absolutely the worst strategy for this course.
You need to practice as much as possible.
Academic Misconduct: Florida International University is a community dedicated to generating and
imparting knowledge through excellent teaching and research, rigorous and respectful exchange of
ideas, and community service. All students should respect the right of others to have an equitable
opportunity to learn and honestly to demonstrate the quality of their learning. Therefore, all students
are expected to adhere to a standard of academic conduct, which demonstrates respect for
themselves, their fellow students, and the educational mission of the University. All students are
deemed by the University to understand that if they are found responsible for academic misconduct,
they will be subject to the Academic Misconduct procedures and sanctions, as outlined in the
Student Handbook.
Other: Academic dishonesty is a serious offense and will be treated according to the University
policy. The instructor will abide by the Universitys policy on religious holidays.

Calculators allowed in test (by National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying):
Casio: All fx-115 models. Any Casio calculator must contain fx-115 in its model name. Examples of
acceptable Casio fx-115 models include (but are not limited to)
fx-115 MS
fx-115 MS Plus
fx-115 MS SR
fx-115 ES
Hewlett Packard: The HP 33s and HP 35s models, but no others.
Texas Instruments: All TI-30X and TI-36X models. Any Texas Instruments calculator must contain
either TI-30X or TI-36X in its model name. Examples of acceptable TI-30X and TI-36X
models include (but are not limited to)

TI-30Xa
TI-30Xa SOLAR
TI-30Xa SE
TI-30XS Multiview
TI-30X IIB
TI-30X IIS
TI-36X II
TI-36X SOLAR
