This page outlines the University's expectations of academic honesty, defines misconduct, provides examples of prohibited conduct, and explains the sanctions available for those found guilty of misconduct. Additional information about the meaning of academic misconduct in this course is provided later in this syllabus.
The UOSA Statement of Academic Integrity will be used in this course.
Homework assignments will be submitted electronically on Canvas and will generally be due at midnight on the published due date.
For paper and pencil homework assignments, you will scan or photograph your paper and upload it to Canvas.
For Matlab homework assignments, you will be provided with an MS WORD shell file to use in developing your solution. Once you complete the assignment, you can print the file to PDF and upload the PDF version to Canvas (preferred). If you have difficulty printing to PDF, you can alternatively upload your completed WORD file to Canvas.
You are encouraged to work together on homework, but DO NOT COPY! Each problem solution that you turn in must be your own;
These standards of academic honesty apply to Matlab assignments as well. In addition:
The tests and exam are OPEN BOOK and OPEN NOTES. Calculators are allowed. You should also bring a clean copy of the formula sheet that is published on the course web site. Other materials are NOT ALLOWED. On each test and on the final exam, students enrolled for undergraduate credit (ECE 4213) will be permitted to omit one problem.
The tests and exam are individual exercises. If you collaborate with another person on a test or exam, then you are guilty of academic misconduct.
Makeup tests will not be given. If you miss a test and your absence is NOT officially excused, then you will receive a zero grade for that test. If you miss a test and your absence IS officially excused, then your final exam grade will be used in place of the missed test grade.
Please note that this course is exempt from the University Final Exam Preparation Period policies (i.e., “Dead Week" policies).
| What | Value |
| Homework | 20% |
| Test One | 25% |
| Test Two | 25% |
| Final Exam | 30% |
These numerical grades will be converted into letter grades using a curve determined by the instructor. For each section (ECE 4213 and ECE 5213), the same curve will be applied to everyone in the class. The curve will never hurt your grade relative to the standard ten-point grading scale.
