INSTRUCTIONAL APPROACH
To pursue the course objectives classes will be a mixture of lecture and discussion formats, inclass assignments, projects, laboratory sessions, guest lectures, and student presentations. Lectures will cover the theoretical aspects of the course. All students are expected to contribute to discussions in class. Sharing pertinent work experience is particularly valuable.

EVALUATION
Grades will be based on the following grading policy:

Grade point summary:

Unit examinations (3@20):	60 points
Assignments and class participation:	5 points
Final examination:	35 points
Total:	100 points

Grades will not be discussed over e-mail or on the telephone. If you have a question about your grade see me or send me a written note immediately after the grade is assigned. Make-up exams will be given only with a valid excuse as described in the SDSU Undergraduate Catalog (doctors note, SDSU business absence,...). Make-ups will be given only at the next class meeting following the regularly scheduled exam.

Academic Honesty
Do your own work. If you copy, or let anyone copy from you, you are guilty of academic dishonesty and are subject to the penalties imposed by the University.
