Academic Integrity

All students are expected to adhere to the standards of professional conduct and academic honesty. Any student engaged in cheating, plagiarism, or other acts of academic dishonesty would be subject to disciplinary action. Any student suspected of violating this obligation for any reason during the semester will be required to participate in the procedural process, initiated at the instructor level, as outlined in the SSOE Academic Integrity Policy found at:

https://www.engineering.pitt.edu/Academic-Integrity-Guidelines/.

Disability Services

If you have a disability for which you are or may be requesting and accommodation, you are encouraged to contact both your instructor and Disability Resources and Services (DRS), 140 William Pitt Union, (412) 648-7890, drsrecep@pitt.edu, (412) 228-5347 for P3 ASL users, as early as possible in the term. DRS will verify your disability and determine reasonable accommodations for the course.

Statement on Classroom Recording

To insure the free and open discussion of ideas, students may not record classroom lectures, discussion, and/or activities without the advance written permission of the instructor, and any such recording properly approved in advance can be used solely for the student´s own private use.

Student Opinion of Teaching Surveys

Students in this class will be asked to complete a Student Opinion of Teaching Survey. Surveys will be sent via Pitt email and appear on your Canvas landing page during the last three weeks of class meeting days.

Religious Observance

The observance of religious holidays (activities observed by a religious group of which a student is a member) and cultural practices are an important reflection of diversity. As your instructor, I am committed to providing equivalent educational opportunities to students of all belief systems. At the beginning of the semester, you should review the course requirements to identify foreseeable conflicts with assignments, exams, or other required attendance. If at all possible, please contact me within the first two week of the semester to allow time for us to discuss and make fair and reasonable adjustments to the schedule and/or tasks.

Diversity and Inclusion

The University of Pittsburgh does not tolerate any form of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation based on disability, race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, genetic information, marital status, familial status, sex, age, sexual orientation, veteran status, or gender identity or other factors as stated in the University′s Title IX policy. The University is committed to taking prompt action to end a hostile environment that interferes with the University′s mission. For more information about policies, procedures, and practices, see:

https://www.diversity.pitt.edu/civil-rights-title-ix-compliance/policies-procedures-and-practices.

I ask that everyone in the class strive to help ensure that other members of the class can learn in a supportive and respectful environment. If there are instances of the aforementioned issues, please contact the Title IX Coordinator at (412) 648-7860 or titleixcoordinator@pitt.edu. Reports can also be filed online:

https://www.diversity.pitt.edu/civil-rights-title-ix-compliance/make-report.

You may also choose to report this to a faculty/staff member; they are required to communicate this to the University′s Office of Diversity and Inclusion. If you wish to maintain complete confidentiality, you may also contact the University Counseling Center at (412) 648-7930.

COVID-19 Statement

In this midst of this pandemic, it is extremely important that you abide by public health regulations and University of Pittsburgh health standards and guidelines. While in class, at a minimum this means that you must wear a face covering and comply with physical distancing requirements; other requirements may be added by the University during the semester. These rules have been developed to protect the health and safety of all community members. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in your not being permitted to attend class in person and could result in a Student Conduct violation. For the most up-to-date information and guidance, please visit https://www.coronavirus.pitt.edu and check your Pitt email for updates before each class.

Communication to Instructor Pertaining to Illness

As in any situation regarding class absence (remote or in person), a student who becomes ill (whether it be COVID-19 related or not) is responsible for communicating with me regarding course absences. Please contact me and provide documentation when absences affect quizzes/exams. This should be done via email as soon as possible.

Seating Chart Statement

For those individuals who will be attending the class in person, I will be using a seating chart. Please be considerate and continue to sit in your designated seat through the term. If you wish to move to a different location, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate you request.

Administrative Policy

- We will be using Canvas for this course. In addition to all of the information contained in this handout, the Canvas site is the place to find contact information, homework assignments, solution sets for homework assignments and midterm examinations, lecture notes, and the online lectures.

- There are weekly homework assignments. Only three problems from each assignment will be graded. Copies of solutions to all assigned problems will be made available online on Canvas. All homework must be submitted through Gradescope.

- Each design problem will be allocated one lecture hour, during which time normal lectures will not be given. The specific instructions for the study, solution, and submission of the various design problems will be included in the respective assignments. The design problems are team assignments.

- All exams will be closed-book, closed-notes. An official formula sheet and any other required ancillary information will be provided with the exam (and are also available on Canvas). The exams will be remote exams that you will have 24 hours to complete and submit through Gradescope. The date of the final exam is yet to be determined, but it will be during the final examination period from Monday, November 30^th, to Thursday, December 3^rd.

- Each student′s final grade will be determined based on the following contributions:

Assessment Method	Percent of Final Grade
Homework Assignments	10%
Quizzes	10%
2 Design Projects	15%
2 Midterm Exams	35%
Final Exam	30%

- Letter grades for the course will be assigned as follows:

Final Score	Letter Grade
97-100	A+
93-97	A
90-93	A-
87-90	B+
83-87	B
80-83	B-
77-80	C+
73-77	C
70-73	C-
67-70	D+
63-67	D
60-63	D-
0-60	F

Submitting Homework and Exams via Gradescope

- You should have received an email notification that you have been added to this course on Gradescope (gradescope.com). Make sure that you log on to your account and familiarize yourself with the procedure for submitting assignments. Let me know if there are any issues. Do not wait until the first homework assignment is due.

- All homework assignments must be submitted through Gradescope. I will not be accepting hardcopies.

- Homework submitted within 24 hours after the due date will be subject to a 20% deduction in score. No homework will be accepted more than 24 hours after the due date.

- Failure to adhere to the following guidelines will result in a deduction in score.

- Each problem should include a clear, concise, and easy to follow justification of the final answer. It should also be neat and legible. Pretend that you are trying to convince your boss that she/he can rely on your answer as part of an important business decision.

- We will be working on many of the homework problems in class. Do not just scan this in-class work. Take the time to rewrite, clarify, and improve it, before submitting it. You will find that this will also improve your understanding.

- Final answers, with appropriate units, should be boxed.

- Make sure that your scans are clear and in focus.

- The last step of the submission procedure is to indicate which page(s) of your upload contain each answer. Make sure that you do this.

Very Important: Before logging out of Gradescope, review your submission and make sure that everything is in order. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have submitted your homework correctly!
