Retention
of Graded Material |
|
You
are advised to keep all graded materials in case there is a question
about your course grade. |
Grading
Policy |
|
As
per the Auburn University Bulletin, instructors shall determine
the policy regarding grading which they feel is best for the
course. This policy shall be presented to the class, in writing,
at the beginning of the term.
In
CHEN 2610, your course grade will be determined by proportionally
weighting performance in the following areas
- Exams*
(3 @ 10%) - 30%
-
Final* - 40%
- Homework,
Quizzes*, DEQ's and other classwork - 30%
(includes labs, projects, other homework, and quizzes)
*
Note: It is this course's policy, and also a policy of other
professors, that some test problems are "no partial credit,"
that is, you receive either full credit for an "acceptable"
solution or no credit for an "unacceptable" solution.
The determination of "acceptability" is solely the
instructor's decision. Generally a "correct answer"
is required for an acceptable solution, however, a correct answer
that is improperly arrived at or that does not adhere to class
policies is not acceptable.
Breakpoints employed for the three term exams and the final
exam are: A=80%, B=65%, C=55%, D=45%, F=less than 45%.
Breakpoints
for homework assignments and quizzes are: A=90%, B=80%, C=70%,
D=60%, F=less than 60%.
These grade breakpoints are determined by applying the Auburn
University Bulletin criteria to each area. The following summarizes
the criteria published in the University Bulletin:
-
A: Superior
-
B: Good (not Superior)
-
C: Acceptable (not Good) (NOT
AVERAGE)
-
D: Passing (not Acceptable and not Failing)
-
F: Failing (not Passing)
Characteristics
of Grade Benchmarks (employed in all courses taught)
A
- Student clearly demonstrates an in-depth technical understanding
of the concepts. Able to offer different technical viewpoints
and solutions to a problem. Demonstrates the ability to apply
the concepts creatively. Consistently carries problems to a
final and justified solution. Demonstrates technical leadership
in the subject.
B
- Student demonstrates a technical understanding sufficient
for solving the majority of problems. Able to propose at least
one technical solution or viewpoint to a problem. Consistently
carries problems to a satisfactory solution. Can explain and
justify a conclusion or approach most of the time.
C
- Student demonstrates a technical understanding sufficient
for solving straightforward problems but may have trouble with
more complex variations or situations. Carries problems through
to an adequate solution most of the time. Able to explain and
justify conclusions or approaches for many cases but with uncertainty.
D
- Student's ability to apply the concepts even to straight-forward
problems is marginal. Carries problems through to an adequate
solution only sporadically. The ability to explain or justify
conclusions is weak and sporadic. There would be a question
with regard to the ability to work in the area in an industrial
setting.
F
- Student's ability to apply the concepts to problems is seriously
in question. The ability to do industrial work in the area undemonstrated.

Academic
Honesty Policy |
|
In
order to articulate fully its commitment to academic honesty
and to protect members of its community from the results of
dishonest conduct Auburn University has adopted policies to
deal with cases of academic dishonesty. These policies are intended
not only to emphasize the imperative of integrity, but also
to protect the rights of all members of the university community.
The complete academic regulations concerning cheating are located
in the Tiger Cub Student Handbook, Code of Laws, Title
XII, Student Academic Honesty Code, Chapters 1200-1203.
Departmental
Honesty Statement: By affixing my signature below, I
acknowledge I am aware of the Auburn University policy concerning
academic honesty, plagiarism, and cheating. This policy is defined
in the current Tiger Cub Student Handbook, Code of Laws, Title
XII, Student Academic Honesty Code, Chapters 1200-1203. I further
attest that the work I am submitting with this exam is solely
my own and was developed during the exam. I have used no notes,
materials, or other aids except those permitted by the instructor.
The
following information is the implimentation and delineation
of those policies by the above faculty member.
When
a student is suspected of violating academic honesty standards,
the faculty member will, as soon as reasonably possible, notify
the student of the suspected infraction, seek the student's
explanation, undertake any further investigation the faculty
member considers appropriate, and initially determine whether
a violation of the academic honesty policy has likely occurred.
If
an act of academic dishonesty is determined to have likely occurred
the matter will be turned over to the Auburn University Academic
Honesty Committee
Forms
of Academic Dishonesty
Plagiarism
is the inclusion of someone else's words, ideas, or data as
one's own work. When a student submits work for credit that
includes the words, ideas, or data of others, the source of
that information must be acknowledged through complete, accurate,
and specific references, and, if verbatim statements are included,
through quotation marks as well. By placing his/her name on
work submitted for credit, the student certifies the originality
of all work not otherwise identified by appropriate acknowledgments.
Plagiarism covers unpublished as well as published sources.
Examples
of plagiarism include, but are not limited to: 1. Quoting another
person's actual words, complete sentences or paragraphs, or
an entire piece of written work without acknowledgment of the
source; 2. Using another person's ideas, opinions, or theory,
even if it is completely paraphrased in one's own words without
acknowledgment of the source; 3. Borrowing facts, statistics,
or other illustrative materials that are not clearly common
knowledge without acknowledgment of the source; 4. Copying another
student's essay test answers; 5. Copying, or allowing another
student to copy, a computer file that contains another student's
assignment, and submitting it, in part or in its entirety, as
one's own; or 6. Working together on an assignment, sharing
the computer files and programs involved, and then submitting
individual copies of the assignment as one's own individual
work. Students are urged to consult with individual faculty
members, academic departments, or recognized handbooks in their
field if in doubt regarding issues of plagiarism.
Fabrication
is the use of invented information or the falsification of research
or other findings. Examples
include, but are not limited to: 1. Citation of information
not taken from the source indicated. This may include the incorrect
documentation of secondary source materials; 2. Listing sources
in a bibliography not used in the academic exercise; 3. Submission
in a paper, thesis, lab report, or other academic exercise of
falsified, invented, or fictitious data or evidence, or deliberate
and knowing concealment or distortion of the true nature, origin,
or function of such data or evidence; or 4. Submitting as your
own any academic exercises (e.g., written work, printing, sculpture,
etc.) prepared totally or in part by another.
Cheating
is an act or an attempted act of deception by which a student
seeks to misrepresent that he or she has mastered information
on an academic exercise that he or she has not mastered. Examples
include, but are not limited to: 1. Copying from another student's
test paper; 2. Allowing another student to copy from a test
paper; 3. Unauthorized use of course textbook or other materials
such as a notebook to complete a test or other assignment from
the faculty member; 4. Collaborating on a test, quiz, or other
project with any other person(s) without authorization. 5. Using
or processing specifically prepared materials during a test
(e.g., notes, formula lists, notes written on the students clothing,
etc.) that are not authorized; or 6. Taking a test for someone
else or permitting someone else to take a test for you.
Academic
Misconduct includes other academically dishonest acts such
as tampering with grades or taking part in obtaining or distributing
any part of an administered or unadministered test. Examples
include, but are not limited to: 1. Stealing, buying, or otherwise
obtaining all or part of an administered or unadministered test;
2. Selling or giving away all or part of an administered or
unadministered test including questions and/or answers; 3. Bribing
any other person to obtain an administered or unadministered
test or any information about the test; 4. Entering a building
or office for the purpose of changing a grade in a grade book,
on a test, or on other work for which a grade is given; 5. Changing,
altering, or being an accessory to the changing and/or altering
of a grade in a grade book, on a test, a "change of grade" form,
or other official academic records of the University that relate
to grades; 6. Entering a building or office for the purpose
of obtaining an administered or unadministered test; 7. Continuing
to work on an examination or project after the specified allotted
time has elapsed; 8. Any buying or otherwise acquiring any theme
report, term paper, essay, computer software, other written
work, and handing it in as your own to fulfill academic requirement;
or 9. Any selling, giving, or otherwise supplying to another
student for use in fulfilling academic requirements any theme,
report, term paper, essay, computer software, other written
work. |
Special
Accommodations |
|
Students
needing special accommodations (for school events, personal circumstances,
disabilities, etc.) should bring that need to my attention as
soon as possible, along with the appropriate notification from
the Office of Student Disabilities. Please note: Requests for
extra time or other locations must be brought to the instructor's
attention for EACH exam. There are NO blanket arrangements for
this situation. If the request is not properly made, no accomodation
will be permitted. |
Attendance
Policy |
|
College
work requires regular class attendance as well as careful preparation.
It is the expectation of Auburn University and Department of
Chemical Engineering that students attend all their scheduled
classes. Specific policies regarding class attendance are the
prerogative of individual faculty members. This policy shall
be presented to the class, in writing, at the beginning of the
term and will govern the actions of the instructor in the course.
The attendance policy for CHEN 2610 (Spring 2013) is as follows:
Students who have more than three (3) unexcused absences will
automatically be assigned the grade of FA (failing due to excessive
absences). An unexcused absence is defined as any absence not
consistent with the definition of an excused absence provided
in the Tiger Cub publication (Section 5.10.1-5.10.5). Documentation
for excused absences must be provided to the instructor within
a week of the return to classes. This policy will be enforced
regardless of the performance of the student in coursework.
Please
note: Attendance will be determined by various means including
taking roll, taking quizzes, etc. Quizzes are frequently
given at the beginning of class, therefore, you will be considered
absence if you arrive at class after the quiz is collected.
|
Electronic
Device Policy |
|
Restricted
electronic devices (such as cell phones, pagers, pen cams, etc.)
may not be used at any time. Please turned off or set to silent
mode any "signaling" devices.
Laptop
computers and tablets may be used during lectures, however they
must be set to silent mode and they may not be used for non-class
related activities (email, web-browsing, game playing).
Restricted electronic devices must not be accessible during
exams (please place in backpacks, etc.). Any restricted
electronic devices visible during an exam or final will be considered
an act of academic dishonesty as defined above.
Disruptions of the class by "signaling" devices
during examinations will result in loss of 10% of the exam credit.
|
Participation
in Assessment Efforts |
|
Each
Auburn student is expected to participate in the University’s
assessment efforts. Academic programs use various means to gather
assessment information, including portfolios, performances, achievement
tests, comprehensive examinations, surveys, interviews, focus
groups, evaluation forms, and other methods. While enrolled, a
typical student can expect to take part in one or more of these
assessment activities. Participation in these activities may be
a completion requirement for some degree programs. (Tigercub 2010,
p 33) |
