\newcommand\gradingPolicy{Your final grade will be determined from the following:
Homework		        20\%,
Discussion boards		20\%,
Clinical/Consultations	15\%,
Exams/Presentations	45\%

The scale used to assign letter grades is:
Letter grade scale: A(93--100), A--(90--92), B+(87--89), B(83--86), B--(80--82), C+(77--79),
C(73--76), C--(70--72), D+(67--69), D(63--66), D--(60--62), F(<60)

Grade Reconciliation: Disagreements about penalties are to be addressed in writing clearly indicating the discrepancy. Please cite sources that support your position. 
Quizzes and Exams Activities: All related activities are closed notes and text. Special considerations should be presented before execution of activity.}
\newcommand\HWandLabPolicy{Homework submissions are required to be legible and of professional quality. There will be two homework assignments. Assignments are required to be submitted in PDF format via Blackboard.

AI Tools are permitted for use in Discussion board assignments and Consultation assignments with appropriate disclosure during assignment submission.

Presentation: Students will independently present prescribed technical articles  or design problem relevant to topics covered in this course (i.e. organ on a chip, optofluidics, etc.). This assignment requires the student to provide the following attributes.
\begin{itemize}
   \item  Provide a 1-page summary of the article (i.e. 1000 words) submitted to Blackboard.
   \item  Provide a half-page bibliography and BibTeX files submitted to Blackboard. 
   \item  Provide appropriate description/illustration and discuss device applications or technical relevance.
   \item The presentation should be 20 minutes long and include 25 PowerPoint slides with detailed speaker notes, which will be submitted to Blackboard.
