Office Hours
Please respect my office hours.
Just as taking this class is not the only thing that you are doing this
summer, teaching this class is only a small part of what I do. While I
desire to see you succeed in this class, constant interruptions make it
difficult to accomplish my other obligations. If you have questions, please
come during my office hours. If they are not accommodating, please set up an
appointment with me via email.
Honor Code
I expect you to live the
honor
code. Cheating of any kind will result in a failing grade in the
course.
Calculators
You will find a good scientific calculator extremely useful
during your engineering career. The minimum recommended calculator
must have trig, log, root, and exponential functions, rectangular to
polar conversion, complex number capability, and the ability to invert
matrices. This may be the
time to invest in a reasonably expensive engineering calculator.
Preparation for Lectures.
Reading assignments will be given, and students are expected to
come to class having completed the assigned reading. Students will
be called on randomly to demonstrate their knowledge of the material
by working problems on the board to assist the class in
understanding the current discussion topic. The assigned reading
pages for each day of lecture are listed below in the lecture
schedule.
Preparation for Exams.
If you would like to do well on exams, I suggest that you do the
following:
(1) Daily: Come to class prepared. Read the assignment
before the lecture and try working the Drill Exercises before
class.
(2) Weekly: Make sure you understand how to do every
homework problem.
(3) Before the exam: Review the text and your
notes and make a one page summary of all of the
important formulas and ideas.
(4) Before the exam: Rework all
Drill Exercises and homework problems.
(5) Night before exam: Get
a good night sleep.
Preventing Sexual Harassment.
Title IX of the Educational Amendment of 1972 prohibits sex
discrimination against any participants in an educational program or
activity that receives federal funds. The act is intended to
eliminate sex discrimination in education. Title IX covers
discrimination in programs, admissions, activities, and
student-to-student sexual harassment. BYU's policy against sexual
harassment extends not only to employees of the university but to
students as well. If you encounter unlawful sexual harassment or
gender based discrimination, please talk to your professor; contact
the Equal Employment Office at 378-5895 or 367-5689 (24-hour); or
contact the Honor Code Office at 378-2847.
Students with Disabilities.
Brigham Young University is committed to providing a working and
learning atmosphere which reasonably accommodates qualified persons
with disabilities. If you have any disability which may impair your
ability to complete this course successfully, please contact the
Services for Students with Disabilities Office (378-2767).
Reasonable academic accommodations are reviewed for all students who
have qualified documented disabilities. Services are coordinated
with the student and instructor by the SSD Office. If you need
assistance or if you feel you have been unlawfully discriminated
against on the basis of disability, you may seek resolution through
established grievance policy and procedures. You should contact the
Equal Employment Office at 378-5895, D-282 ASB.
