CITE Consortium Module completion will be assessed though completion of the module tests. Submitting Exams and Assignments: All exams will be open book, take-home format. Exams will be provided electronically. Students will submit an electronic copy of all completed exams, assignments, and project deliverables via a personal Google Drive folder that will be separately setup and shared for each student team. Exams: The mid-term and comprehensive final exam will be open-book and open-notes take home exams. The exams will follow the course objectives listed above, emphasizing open-ended problems and deep thinking. For each exam, students will sign an honor pledge attesting that they have discussed the exam with no one other than the instructor and that they have not consulting any resources not explicitly permitted for the exam. Course Web Site: A Wolfware course locker web site will be maintained throughout the semester. The course website URL is – http://courses.ncsu.edu/ce705/lec/651 In addition to this common web page, a common course message board will also be available for joint use by both sections.

The conversion from “letter grading” to “credit only (S/U) grading” is subject to university deadlines. Refer to the Registration and Records calendar for deadlines related to grading. For more details refer to: http://policies.ncsu.edu/regulation/reg-02-20-15 Requirements for audit grading (AU): In order to receive a grade of AU, students must attend all classes and complete and turn in all homework assignments. For more details refer to: http://policies.ncsu.edu/regulation/reg-02-20-04 Incomplete grades (IN): Incomplete grades will be given only under extenuating circumstances, in accordance with NCSU policy as described at the website below. If an extended deadline is not authorized by the instructor or department, an unfinished incomplete grade will automatically change to an F after either (a) the end of the next regular semester in which the student is enrolled (not including summer sessions), or (b) by the end of 12 months if the student is not enrolled, whichever is shorter. Incompletes that change to F will count as an attempted course on transcripts. The burden of fulfilling an incomplete grade is the responsibility of the student. For more details refer to: http://policies.ncsu.edu/regulation/reg-02-50-03 Late Assignments: Late assignments will be accepted through the third day following stated date and time of the assignment deadline. Assigned grades for late submissions will be subject to a 10% deduction (roughly one full letter grade) for each 24-hour period following the due date. This deduction is not prorated. For example assignments turned in anytime during the 24-hour period following the deadline will receive the full 10% deduction and so on. No assignments will be accepted beyond 72 hours after the original deadline. Academic Integrity: As a student enrolled in this class, you are expected to honor the NCSU policies regarding academic integrity found in the Code of Student Conduct at – http://policies.ncsu.edu/policy/pol-11-35-01 Your signature on any test or assignment means that you have neither given nor received unauthorized assistance on that test or assignment. If there are questions regarding any matter relating to the standards of academic integrity in this course or on a given assignment, they should be discussed with the instructor prior to doing any work. If any violation of the academic integrity policies is observed, please notify the instructor immediately. Once a violation has occurred, the case will be pursued through procedures outlined by the University. CE 705 – Summer 2015 Course Syllabus Page 4 of 6 Anti-discrimination statement: NC State University provides equality of opportunity in education and employment for all students and employees. Accordingly, NC State affirms its commitment to maintain a work environment for all employees and an academic environment for all students that is free from all forms of discrimination. Discrimination based on race, color, religion, creed, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or sexual orientation is a violation of state and federal law and/or NC State University policy and will not be tolerated. Harassment of any person (either in the form of quid pro quo or creation of a hostile environment) based on race, color, religion, creed, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or sexual orientation also is a violation of state and federal law and/or NC State University policy and will not be tolerated. Retaliation against any person who complains about discrimination is also prohibited. NC State’s policies and regulations covering discrimination, harassment, and retaliation may be accessed at – http://policies.ncsu.edu/policy/pol-04-25-05 Any person who feels that he or she has been the subject of prohibited discrimination, harassment, or retaliation should contact the Office for Equal Opportunity (OEO) at 515-3148. Students with Disabilities: Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with verifiable disabilities. In order to take advantage of available accommodations, students must register with Disability Services for Students at 1900 Student Health Center, Campus Box 7509, 515-7653. For more information on NC State's policy on working with students with disabilities, please see the Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities Regulation (REG02.20.1) at – http://policies.ncsu.edu/regulation/reg-02-20-01 This regulation concerns students with hearing, visual, motor, or learning disabilities. The instructor will make “reasonable accommodations” according to university policies to ensure that academic requirements are not discriminatory. Students with disabilities are encouraged to register with the Disability Services Office (DSO) – http://dso.dasa.ncsu.edu/ The instructor will coordinate any accommodations through DSO. Supporting Fellow Students in Distress: As members of the NC State Wolfpack community, we each share a personal responsibility to express concern for one another and to ensure that this classroom and the campus as a whole remains a safe environment for learning. Occasionally, you may come across a fellow classmate whose personal behavior concerns or worries you. When this is the case, I would encourage you to report this behavior to the NC State Students of Concern website – http://studentsofconcern.ncsu.edu/. Although you can report anonymously, it is preferred that you share your contact information so they can follow-up with you personally. Safety and Risk Assumption: Students may occasionally have to collect data in the field during the project. This may involve crossing or standing beside roadways. Students standing in the roadway right-of-way to collect data should wear orange reflective safety vests—see the instructor to borrow a vest before field CE 705 – Summer 2015 Course Syllabus Page 5 of 6 data collection. Students should take all other normal safety precautions during these activities. Otherwise there should not be any additional risk experienced during this course. Class Evaluations: Online class evaluations will be available for students to complete during the last two weeks of the fall term: You will receive an email message directing you to a website where you can login using your Unity ID and complete your evaluation. All evaluations are confidential. Instructors will not know how any one student responded to any question, and students will not know the ratings for any instructors. Evaluation website: https://classeval.ncsu.edu/secure/prod/cesurvey/index.cfm Student help desk: [email protected] More information about ClassEval: http://oirp.ncsu.edu/eval/clev Web Resources: As mentioned above, a Wolfware course locker will be maintained for this course. Extra Expenses: Students should expect no additional required charges during this course. Course Schedule: The course schedule will also be maintained on the Wolfware course web site. Changes to the course schedule will be made to the online schedule. Therefore, the online schedule will represent the current official schedule as the term progresses.
