Attendance in class and lab participation is regarded as a requirement and an obligation for learning. Student is responsible for clocking-in and clocking-out with the provided system, just as they would at work. Failure to clock-in or clock-out will result in loss of points for that session. The Instructor will adjust system for classes that vary from schedule. All attendance points will come from time sheet. Tampering with the time system will result in the loss of all attendance points for that student. Attendance to the end of the last hour block or until instructor releases class is required in order to receive any of the points. Failure to bring required equipment will result in a loss of all points for the class period.
The following calendar is how the class would ideally run. However, this class is a research and project oriented class that cannot always be held to a rigid timeline. The pace of the class will be determined by the students' understanding and implementation of the concepts presented. If the majority of the class needs to slow done or speed up, then the pace will slow down or speed up. This assures that the majority will have a firm understanding of a concept before being introduced to a new concept. I will personally assign all homework.
