Academic Procedures

The following practices apply to this course:

1. For tests and laboratory reports, the professor will specify dates and special instructions at the beginning of the semester. Students are expected to plan ahead to ensure they are available for all tests, exams and labs. 2. Students must complete every test and laboratory report as an individual effort unless the professor specifies otherwise.

3. Students must write all tests at the scheduled time in their laboratory section. The only
acceptable excuse for a missed test or exam or lab is a medical or legal certificate indicating the students inability to attend. Where appropriate a make up test will be arranged. The make-up test will be written in the Assessment Centre, a $10.00 charge will be required to write the test. 4. If the professor is not contacted within three school days of the date of any missed test or work, a mark of zero (0) shall be awarded regardless of any medical or legal certificate that is subsequently provided. 5. Late submission of any laboratory report or any assignment will be deducted at 20% of the full value of the work for each school day that the work is late. The exception to this late penalty is a medical/legal note as described in 3) above. 6. Students with a total final grade for this course that falls within the range of 45% to 49% may be awarded a Supplemental (SU) examination privilege at the discretion of the professor. Successful completion of this supplemental examination will result in a maximum final grade of D for the course. 7. During any test or examination, the possession of electronic devices capable of communicating with other devices, located either inside or outside the test or examination room, is expressly forbidden. The only exceptions to this rule are devices used by students with accommodations for special needs identified by the Accessible Learning Services. This means that no student is allowed to bring to their desk during any test or examination any lap top computer, netbook, cell phone, Blackberry, pda or similar device. If a student is found with such a device during a test or examination depending on the circumstances one of two courses of action will be followed: a) The device will be removed by the invigilator and collected by the student when they submit the paper and leave the room or b) The possession of the device may be considered to represent an academic offence and the matter will be dealt with under the terms of the Colleges Academic Honesty Policy. 8. During any test or examination, the possession of any device that plays recorded material in any format, either audio or visual or both, such as an ipod, mp3 player, etc. is forbidden. The only exceptions to this rule are devices used by students with accommodations for special needs identified by the Accessible Learning Services. If a student is found with such a device during a test or examination depending on the circumstances one of two courses of action will be followed: a) The device will be removed by the invigilator and collected by the student when they submit the paper and leave the room or b) The possession of the device may be considered to represent an academic offence and the matter will be dealt with under the terms of the Colleges Academic Honesty Policy.

9. The professors reserve the right to specify the types of hand held calculators used during any test or examination. Such specification shall be given in class sufficiently in advance

of the test or examination to enable all students to comply. The professor may announce that for a particular test calculators with some specified capability, such as graphing, for example, are not permitted. The only exceptions to this rule are devices used by students with accommodations for special needs identified by the Accessible Learning Services. If a student is unsure if their calculator will be permitted, it is their responsibility to check in advance with the professor. If a student is found with a calculator with forbidden capabilities during a test or examination depending on the circumstances one of two courses of action will be followed: a) The device will be removed by the invigilator and collected by the student when they submit the paper and leave the room or b) The possession of the device may be considered to represent an academic offence and the matter will be dealt with under the terms of the Colleges Academic Honesty Policy. 10. During the test there will be no sharing of materials, this includes but is not limited to calculators, pens, pencils, erasers, rulers etc. (bring your own) 11. During the test there will be no talking. If a student has a question regarding the test, that student must raise their hand. 12. If a student misses a lecture class, it is their responsibility to catch up on their own and to get any missed notes etc from classmates.

For all laboratory work, the following procedures and expectations apply:
It is important for all students to attend and listen to the pre-lab safety talk. If a student arrives later than 5 minutes after the lab has started, he or she will be asked to leave the lab and a grade of zero will be given for the missed lab

1) A schedule of laboratory experiments and activities is included in this class plan.

Attendance at all labs is mandatory.

2) A laboratory manual is available for students to purchase as soon as possible. Safety 3)

regulations and procedures are given in this laboratory manual and students will be given a laboratory safety test before starting their first lab experiment. Students are expected to follow all laboratory safety rules specified by the professor and as indicated in the laboratory manual. Failure to wear safety glasses, a lab coat and full toe shoes may result in a grade of zero for the lab or students may be asked to leave the lab.

4) Students will work in pairs on laboratory experiments. It is critical therefore that all
students be on time for laboratory work. Laboratory groups will be formed in the first week of classes and the group lists will be posted outside B228. Students will be assigned as A or B partners and should submit laboratory reports according to the schedule. This schedule must be adhered to rigidly and no exceptions will be allowed. 5) If a student submits a lab report out of turn (i.e. the report for a different experiment than that identified in the schedule) a grade of zero will be given to the student submitting the report. In this case, a subsequent submission of a report by the correct student in a pair may be subject to a late penalty depending on its time of submission. There are no opportunities for making up missed laboratories.

6) If a student misses a lab that they are not responsible for writing, 20% will be deducted
from the next lab submitted.

7) Typed laboratory reports are due one week after completion of the experiment (at the beginning of the lab period in the following week). 8) If you are unsure about whether a report or assignment is to be done individually or collaboratively, it is your responsibility to clarify this with the professor.

For all lecture sections the following expectations apply:

1) It is important that all students attend their designated lecture section.

2) If a student has an IEP (Individual Education Plan) profile or a disability, it is the students
responsibility to register with the Accessible Learning Center and inform their instructor (both lab and lecture) of their accommodations. 3) If a student arrives late to their lecture, they are expected to enter the class quietly and find a seat quietly. Do not disrupt the lecture, respect the learning of others. 4) There will be no irrelevant talking during lecture. A warning will be given to students who do not follow this expectation, after which the student will be asked to leave the lecture.

5) Computers are not necessary in this course therefore, they will not be used during lecture. 6) It is expected that students turn off their cell phones and do not answer phone calls during
lecture.

7) Before coming to lecture, print the required PowerPoint presentation from SLATE.
8) The use of a recording device (including a voice recorder, camcorder or camera) is prohibited in the classroom without the instructors consent.
