Neatness is expected on homework and exams and will be part of the grade.

Students taking this course as ECE 6190 will receive different homework and projects.

If it is not possible to attend class, please e-mail the instructor with the reason and
arrange to obtain a copy of the course notes from a classmate.

All graduate students are required to attend the first scheduled day of classes and
laboratories. Students who cannot attend the first class are responsible for contacting the
instructor to indicate their intent to remain in that class. If a student does not attend the
first class meeting or contact the instructor by the second meeting or the last day to add,
whichever comes first, the instructor has the option of dropping the student from the roll.
However, students intending to drop a class should request the course be dropped and
should not assume they will be dropped due to lack of attendance.

Students expecting to miss a class must communicate with the instructor well in advance
to make arrangements to submit assignments or make up missed work. In the case of
unexpected absence due to unforeseen circumstances, the students responsibility is to
contact the instructor as soon as practical to communicate the reason for the absence and
to make up missed work.

Students are authorized to leave class after waiting 15 minutes if the instructor is late.

Any exam that was scheduled at the time of a class cancellation due to inclement weather
will be given at the next class meeting unless contacted by the instructor. Any
assignments due at the time of a class cancellation due to inclement weather will be due
at the next class meeting unless contacted by the instructor. Any extension or
postponement of assignments or exams must be granted by the instructor via email or
Blackboard within 24 hours of the weather related cancellation.

Students with disabilities requesting accommodations should make an appointment with

http://www.clemson.edu/academics/academic-integrity/
As members of the Clemson University community, we have inherited Thomas Green
Clemsons vision of this institution as a high seminary of learning. Fundamental to this
vision is a mutual commitment to truthfulness, honor, and responsibility, without which
we cannot earn the trust and respect of others. Furthermore, we recognize that academic
dishonesty detracts from the value of a Clemson degree. Therefore, we shall not tolerate
lying, cheating, or stealing in any form.

This syllabus may be changed at any time during the course; with adequate notice given
to students.
