A missed exam can be made up within one week of the original exam date if the student's absence is due to a University recognized excuse. Otherwise, the student will receive a grade of zero on the exam. It is the student's responsibility to see the instructor if problems arise with homework, projects, or missed exams. I encourage students to work together on take-home exercises, since students tend to teach each other, but each student must turn in their own reports. There is one scheduled half-day field trip in this course.
Attendance is required.
Most assignments will be aided by the use of personal computers. Students should be adept at the use of commonly used word processing, graphics, and spreadsheet software such as WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, Quattro Pro, etc. Students should rely upon either their own computers, or computers in McCarty Hall and Fifield Hall to complete their assignments. UF policy requires students to have their own personal computing capabilities. All faculty, staff and students of the University are required and expected to obey the laws and legal agreements governing software use.
