Attendance policy

Everyone is strongly urged to attend class regularly and actively participate. You will be responsible for learning all the materials covered in class. Lecture slides and supplementary handouts will cover most of the material; however, in-class participation through engaging in discussions and asking questions should be valued learning activity.

The SUNY Korea Attendance Policy states "If a student has over 20% unexcused absence, the student's final course grade will be an 'F'."

Assignments grading policy

Assignment will be handed out in class and are due at the start of class of the due date. Legible handwritten copies of the assignments should be turned in.

Total points of each assignment will be different depending on the difficulty of the problems. However, the maximum total point of an assignment will be less than or equal to two times the minimum total point of an assignment. Expect to see difficult problems towards the end of semester.

I will drop the lowest grade from among your assignment scores. No late assignments will be accepted.

Project grading policy

You will be required to propose and execute a final project based on the contents we will learn in class. The class grading will be based on 10% of the content of the proposal, 25% on the final report, and 5% project presentation which add up to 60% of your grade. SUNY-SB Blackboard facility will be used for submissions. The Blackboard facility will mark your time of submission. It is your responsibility to check if the uploads are done properly and to check if you received a proper grade. Grades will be e-mailed to you individually in a timely fashion.

Academic misconduct policy

There is no excuse in cheating. Cheating will be considered as an academic misconduct and handled according to the Stony Brook regulations. If cheating has occurred during exam or is evident in submitted assignments, your will get a grade of F. Discussion of assignments is acceptable, however, returned assignments must show originality. This means near duplicate assignments with your peers or duplications of materials found on the web will be considered cheating. All involved personals in cheating will be penalized.
