\newcommand\HWandLabPolicy{\textbf{Homework Assignments and Laboratory Experiments}: Homework assignments and lab reports will be due back on the following week after they are assigned. 


\textbf{Penalties}: Late penalty will be applied to homework assignments and lab reports on each of the late days following the due date where 5 points/day will be taken out of the overall grade received.
Miscellaneous (please read this carefully!): Please note that group study for working out solutions to homework problems/laboratory experiments is acceptable, and helpful to many students. However, the homework/lab report you turn in should be written out on your own, and not copied verbatim from another student's work or from the material found Online. It should reflect your understanding of the material. Homework problems/Laboratory experiment reports which are turned in and found to be verbatim copies of each other will be given zero credit, regardless of which is the original work. All work on an exam/quiz is to be entirely on your own.


\textbf{Quizzes}: There will be in class quizzes (~every other week) related with the covered material in class. No make-up quizzes will be given. Instead, the percentage of the grade associated with each quiz missed will be added to the final exam percentage.


\textbf{Final Exam}: There will be an in class, comprehensive final exam on the university assigned final exam date.

\newcommand\AttendancePolicy{Attendance is mandatory. Course materials, quizzes and labs will be provided/performed in class sessions.

Where possible, students should inform their instructors if they plan to be late or absent from class. In all cases, students should be prepared to provide documentation to petition for excused absences to the Associate Dean for Student and Strategic Programs, Dr. Stephen Jones. Students should use the form for requesting an excused absence. Excused absences do not count toward a failure in the course for first year students. Absence from class does not release the student from work assigned. Students who miss an in-class obligation (exam, presentation, etc.) due to an excused absence will not be penalized - the instructor may offer a make-up test, arrange an alternative time for a presentation, exempt a student from the assignment, or provide another arrangement. In the case of illness or injury, the form must be submitted within 24 hours of missing class.

\newcommand\ElectronicsPolicy{\textcolor{red}{Since you opted for a customize electronics policy, you should edit this part. Your policy should address your general stance on recording of class sessions and the circumstances under which recording will be allowed or prohibited. If you generally prohibit recording, yet allow recording of certain classes for some reason, then ypu should notify all students that those classes will be recorded. If recording is permitted as an ADA accommodation for a student, you obviously should not identify that student(s).)}}
