    NOTES: 1. DEADLINES: Assignments are due by 4:00 p.m. on the specific due date announced in class. Hand them into the appropriate box on the 4th floor (near the Mec E Office) unless otherwise instructed in class. The assignment box will be emptied at 4:00 PM on the due dates. Any report handed in after that time is considered late. 2. LATE ASSIGNMENT PENALTIES: All late assignments must be turned in personally to the TAs, or failing that, delivered personally to Dr. Sigurdson in Room 5-1B. Please DO NOT leave them in the assignment box, in which case there is no way it can be determined how late the assignment was. This may cost you the maximum late penalty of the following: < 24 hrs late, -15%; < 48 hrs late, -30%; < 72 hrs late, -60%; >= 72 hrs late, penalty = -100%. The percents are applicable to the mark you get, and weekend hours are counted. If you know that you are going to be late with your report, the professional behaviour is to notify the TA as soon as you know, and cc the instructor if it is an email. The late penalties will still apply unless special dispensation has been provided by the instructor for extenuating circumstances. 3. Assignments and exam are based on lecture and assignment material. 4. The use of Engineering judgment is essential when solving problems as a practicing engineer. Answers from work submitted by the student must follow from the solution development, have consistent units, and have correct magnitude and sign. 5. The official University grading system will be implemented using a combination of absolute measures and a distribution to determine grades. 6. Policy about course outlines can be found in section 23.4(2) of the University Calendar. 7. PLAGIARISM AND CHEATING Plagiarism, to steal or pass off the words or ideas of another as one's own, will not be tolerated. The University of Alberta is committed to the highest standards of academic integrity and honesty. Students are expected to be familiar with these standards regarding academic honesty and to uphold policies at the University in this respect. Students are particularly urged to familiarize themselves with the provisions of the Code of Student Behaviour (online

    at http://www.uofaweb.ualberta.ca/gfcpolicymanual/content.cfm?ID_page=3 7633 ) and avoid any behaviour which could potentially result in suspicions of cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation of facts and/or participation in an offense. Academic dishonesty is a serious offense and can result in suspension or expulsion from the University. The "Don't Cheatsheet" is available on the University Governance website http://www.governance.ualberta.ca/en/StudentAppeals/DontCheatsheet.aspx . 8. RECORDING OF LECTURES Recording of lectures is not permitted without the prior written permission of the instructor.
