Policies and Procedures:

Attendance: Attendance in class is expected. (1) Absence from class, (2)


arrival five or more minutes late to class or (3) doing anything other than

class work during class (sleeping, working on material from another class,
etc.) will be recorded as an unexcused absence. If an illness or other event
prevents attendance, the student should notify the instructor before class
otherwise it will be considered as an unexcused absence. Six absences will be
awarded an F in the class.
Homework: It will be assigned to give opportunity to practice and master
concepts and calculations needed for the course. In addition, doing and
learning from homework will help your tests and final exam performance.
Copying homework is considered an Aggie Honor Code Violation.
Examinations: There will be two exams during the semester and a final
exam. Make-up for examinations will be given at the discretion of the
instructor and for university-excused absences only.
Grading: Neat, legible, systematic, and complete presentation is required in
homework assignments, quizzes and examinations for full credit. Units (for
example, Newton-meters) must be included wherever appropriate for
numeric quantities. Work which, while possibly correct, cannot be followed,
will be considered incorrect. Occasionally, problems will be given out that
earns you extra credit for the class.
Getting Help: Every effort will be made to help you master the course
material. Any time the instructors door is open, you are welcome. We may
schedule help sessions for the class to deal with concerns that are raised by
students.
Academic Dishonesty: An Aggie does not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate
those who do. Upon accepting admission to Texas A&M University, a
student immediately assumes a commitment to uphold the Honor Code, to
accept responsibility for learning, and to follow the philosophy and rules of
the Honor System. Students will be required to state their commitment on
examinations, research papers, and other academic work. Ignorance of the
rules does not exclude any member of the TAMUQ community from the
requirements or the processes of the Honor System.
For additional information please visit:
www.qatar.tamu.edu/_files/TAMUQ_Aggie_Honor_System.pdf
On all course work, assignments, and examinations at Texas A&M University
at Qatar, the following Honor Pledge shall be preprinted and signed by the
student:
Aggie Code of Honor:
An Aggie does not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those
who do.
Required Academic Integrity Statement:
On my honor, as an Aggie, I have neither given nor received
unauthorized aid on this academic work
