|
| <h2>Missing a Lab</h2>
| | The makeup presentation and report must be submitted to the EG website within one week of completing the lab. As the presentation will be graded outside of recitation, your presentation must include speaker notes of what would be covered while presenting. |
|
| |
|
| <p>If you miss a lab, you will have to make up the lab on your own during the

|
| <p>In order to make up the lab in the Open Lab, you will need to get permission

| will collect this form from you and let you make up the lab.</p>
| |
| | |
| <p><b><font color=#ff0000>If you do not have a form, the Open Lab TA will not
| |
| permit you to make up the lab!</font></b></p>
| |
| | |
| <p>Note that you'll probably be working alone in the Open Lab, making the lab
| |
| more difficult. Also, many of the labs are competitions, and have bonus points
| |
| awarded based on how your team places. If you're making up a lab in the Open
| |
| Lab, you are not eligible for these bonus points.</p>
| |
| | |
| <p>Your lab presentation will be done at the same recitation as the regular lab
| |
| presentations. Since you'll be making up the lab usually several days after the
| |
| scheduled lab session, this leaves you less time to prepare the presentation,
| |
| making another good reason why you should not miss labs.</p>
| |
| | |
| <p>Finally, when you miss a lab, you will probably also miss a quiz related to
| |
| the lab as well. There is no way to make up this quiz, so missing the lab is
| |
| equivalent to getting a zero on a quiz. If you only miss one lab, there will
| |
| probably be negligible impact on your overall grade, but a large number of
| |
| absences will probably hurt you.</p>
| |
| | |
| <p>Note that your faculty member is not required to give you an authorization for the
| |
| Open Lab. The faculty member will probably also want to discuss with you
| |
| what's wrong since you are missing a significant portion of the course
| |
| experience.</p>
| |
| | |
| <h2>Being Late for a lab</h2>
| |
| | |
| <p>The first time you're late for a lab, you will join the lab in progress. If you arrive
| |
| while the quiz is underway, you can take the quiz, but will get no additional time to
| |
| complete it. If you arrive after the quiz is over, you will get a zero for the quiz, and
| |
| can do the lab in whatever time is left, but your Lab TA will notify your faculty member
| |
| of your lateness. If you do not complete the lab in the alloted time, you will have to have | |
| your faculty member approve a form allowing you to finish the lab during Open Lab. See the
| |
| preceding section on how to get an Open Lab form approved.</p>
| |
| | |
| <p>If you're late more than once, for all occurances after the first time you will not be
| |
| admitted to the lab, will receive a zero for the quiz, and you will have to get the approval
| |
| of your faculty member to make up the lab during Open Lab. See the preceding section on how
| |
| to do this.</p>
| |
| | |
| <h2>Missing a Recitation</h2>
| |
| | |
| <p>If you miss a recitation, your partners will have to give the presentation
| |
| without you. This puts a heavy burden on them, so you should only miss a
| |
| recitation when there is a compelling reason to do so. In addition, you should
| |
| notify your teammates of your absence ahead of time if at all possible. You
| |
| should also notify your faculty member and Recitation TA of your absence ahead
| |
| of time if at all possible.</p>
| |
| | |
| <p>If you are excused from the recitation by your faculty member, you will receive
| |
| the same presentation grade as your teammates, although typically the grade is
| |
| not as good as it could have been because of the extra burden they had to
| |
| handle. If you are not excused, you will receive a zero for any coursework
| |
| performed that day, including such things as lab presentations and milestone
| |
| presentations.</p>
| |
| | |
| <h2>Being late for a recitation</h2>
| |
| | |
| <p>If you're late for a recitation, it is at the faculty member's discretion
| |
| whether or not to allow you be admitted to the recitation. If you missed your
| |
| team's presentation, it will be equivalent to not having been at the recitation,
| |
| as described above. If you are more than 10 minutes late for the recitation, the
| |
| faculty member will not allow you to be admitted except in truly exceptional
| |
| circumstances, and it will be equivalent to having missed the recitation, as
| |
| described above.</p>
| |
| | |
| <h2>Missing or being late for a Lecture</h2>
| |
| | |
| <p>If you miss a lecture, there is no way to make it up. The TAs will take attendance by
| |
| scanning your ID during the first 10 minutes of the lecture; thereafter, you may enter the
| |
| lecture but you will not get any credit for attending the lecture. This way you will receive
| |
| the handout for that lecture so that you can prepare for the upcoming quiz on the lecture
| |
| material during the next lab session.</p>
| |
| | |
| <h2>Joining the class part way through the term</h2>
| |
| | |
| <p>Occasionally, students cannot be present starting at the first day of class. They may
| |
| not be able to register, or they may be stranded overseas when the course starts. We will
| |
| make every effort to accommodate these students and help them to complete the course
| |
| successfully.</p>
| |
| | |
| <p>If you miss any lectures, you should see your TAs or faculty member and get a copy of the
| |
| slides that were presented at the lectures. These slides contain valuable material, and you
| |
| will find it rewarding to review them. The name of the presenter is also on the first slide,
| |
| and they would welcome any questions you might have.</p>
| |
| | |
| <p>For the labs, you must complete all the labs in order to complete the course. There are no
| |
| excused labs. The way to complete these labs is to go to the Open Lab and complete your work
| |
| there if you need to. For the labs that use software that's already on your laptop, you can
| |
| do the lab on your own, or in the Computer Lab. However, most of the labs require access to
| |
| EG1003 lab equipment, you will probably have to use the Open Lab time to complete your work.
| |
| You should agree with your faculty member on the due date for the lab report when you get your
| |
| Open Lab form. Any lateness will be measured from that date. Similarly, you will have to do
| |
| your lab presentations at a date that you and your faculty member agree on. Any lateness from
| |
| that date will count as a zero for that presentation.</p>
| |
| | |
| <p>Since the workload for most students only increases as the term progresses, you and your
| |
| faculty member should come up with a plan to make up work as quickly as possible so that you're
| |
| back on schedule with a normal workload as early in the term as possible.</p>
| |
| | |
| <p>If you join the course after teams have been formed for the Semester-Long Design Project, your
| |
| faculty member will either have you join a team that already exists as an additional member, or
| |
| split up an existing team into two teams, with you joining one of these teams. This decision is
| |
| the faculty member's responsibility.</p>
| |
| | |
| <p>Just to repeat, there is no excused work for EG1003. You must complete all of the assignments in
| |
| order to receive a passing grade.</p>

Lab Policies
Students must be on time for each lab session. Students will not be admitted more than 15 minutes after the lab has begun. To address a lateness of 15 minutes or more, or absence from a lab session entirely, students can complete a makeup lab.
To make up a missed lab, fill out a makeup lab request on the course website within two weeks of the missed session. To do this, log in to your eg.poly.edu account. On the left, click Makeup Lab, and fill out the necessary information. After the form has been submitted, the engineering and recitation TA will review the request.
If the form is approved, visit Open Lab while the form is valid. A TA will confirm the approval and provide assistance. Note that students who complete makeup labs are ineligible for competition extra credit points, and that students whose makeup team lab reports must complete the report and presentation individually.
The makeup presentation and report must be submitted to the EG website within one week of completing the lab. As the presentation will be graded outside of recitation, your presentation must include speaker notes of what would be covered while presenting.
Recitation Policies
Students are expected to attend recitation regularly and arrive on time. The following penalties will apply depending on the degree of lateness:
- Students will receive a zero if they miss their presentation unless they inform their section engineering professor ahead of time.
- Students will receive a two-point penalty on their presentation grade if they are up to ten minutes late to recitation unless they inform their section engineering professor ahead of time.
- Students will receive a five-point penalty on their presentation grade if they are more than ten minutes late to recitation unless they inform their section engineering professor ahead of time.
- Students will receive a five-point penalty on their presentation grade if they are missing a presentation print-out.
An excused absence will result in the student receiving the grade obtained by their teammates that week.
Lecture Policies
Students are expected to attend lectures regularly and on time. Without a valid excuse, there is a grace period of five minutes following the start of lecture; after this time, students will be admitted, but no credit will be awarded.
