\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.
