Students are advised to check the place corresponding to CE4813 periodically for project information. Each student has been assigned a lonestar e- mail account. This e-mail will be used to send general information about the class. Attendance Attendance to the progress reports, final report and PE presentations is required. A student that fails to attend the Final Presentation most likely will received and F in the class. Grading by Peers At the submission of the Final Report each student must submit a confidential evaluation of each of the members in his/her team. Project Web Sites All project information: Calculations, Forms, Plans, Estimates, Specifications will be posted online. Suggested online sites are: weebly.com, www.tumblr.com, webs.com. Each submission (50%, and 100%) will require a hard copy of the plans. Policy on Scholastic Dishonesty: Any scholastic dishonesty (cheating, plagiarism, collusion, etc) on homework, quizzes, and lab forms will result in a zero on the assignment if it occurs on projects, papers, or examinations it will result in a Failing grade in the class. Please re fer to the UTSA’s Student Co de of Conduct as related to scholastic dishonesty and the disciplinary actions involved ( http://www.utsa.edu/infoguide/appendices/b.html). Additional information can be obtained from the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards (http://utsa.edu/studentlife/conduct/ ). UTSA Creed and Honor Code Please go to the following links: www.utsa.edu/about/creed www.utsa.edu/about/creed/honorcode.html Any scholastic dishonesty (cheating, plagiarism, collusion, etc.) on homework will result in a zero on the assignment (you will receive 1 warning). If it occurs on projects, papers, or examinations it will result in a Failing grade in the class. All violations will be reported to the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards. If you have any questions about this, please stop by my office and I'd be happy to discuss it with you. Using the solutions manual, internet websites, other people, or Chegg.com to complete the assignment as your own work without giving credit or gaining access to information not available to you is considered scholastic dishonesty .

Importance of Course Evaluation Professors use feedback provided by students in course evaluation to improve their teaching and the feedback it is also used by the University as one factor in evaluating the instructor’s effectiveness
