Examinations:
There are three examinations including the final exam each
counts for 20% of the final grade. While these exams will be cumulative in nature, the emphasis of the
exams will be on material covered since the previous examination. The final
exam will be a comprehensive two-hour exam. All exams will be open book/open
notes exams.
Class Attendance and
Participation: Some
of the material covered/discussed during lectures will not be in your text or
readings although you will be responsible for it whether you choose to come to
class or not. Class attendance and participation should be one of your
higher priorities this term. Class attendance and participation in class
discussion represent 5% of the class grade.
Class project:
There is one (individual) class project that counts for 20% of each
student’s grade.
Grade Scale:
A ≥ 90
80 ≤ B< 89
70 ≤ C < 79
60 ≤ D < 69
F < 59
Other Expectations:
Here are some other things that I expect of you during class:
 | I expect you to attend all classes. Your input and contribution is very
important. If you are not in class, we can not learn from you, and you cannot
learn from other students. |
| I expect you to be on-time for each class. If you are late, you not only
disrupt others in the class when you enter, but you will miss out on
important information. |
| I expect you to turn in all assignments on time. Late assignments will
not be accepted. |
| I expect you to ask when you have a question. If you do not understand
something that is being discussed, it is likely that others in the class do
not understand as well. Asking questions is a very important part of the
learning process. |
| I expect that the work that you complete will be your best effort and of
the highest quality. Learning to do work of high quality is important now
and when you begin your career as a transportation engineer. |
| I expect that you will work with others in the class on assignments.
Working in teams is important in today’s engineering environment. |
| I expect that the work that you turn in will be your own work, not
copied or unfairly extracted from other students or other sources. |
| I expect you to be honest in your dealings with me and others in the
class. High ethical standards are one of the cornerstones in engineering
education and practice. |
