Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the due date. Late assignments will not be accepted, except in very rare, very serious, and unexpected circumstances. The chance of acceptance of late homework will be improved by checking with the instructor beforehand. The course includes a fair amount of interpretative and explanatory material that will be presented only during lectures. Regular class attendance is very important to performance in the course, and will be checked in class periodically.
Attendance has a large impact on assignment of the instructor's discretionary points.
If it is necessary for you to miss class, you should arrange to get class notes and handouts from someone in the class. Special Requirements University policy applies to dropping the course. An undergraduate engineering student must have the Dean's approval to add or drop a course after the fourth class day of the semester. Applications for approval to drop a course after the fourth class day should be made in the Office of Student Affairs, ECJ 2.200. The University of Texas at Austin provides upon request appropriate academic adjustments for qualified students with disabilities.
