Course
Policies |
|
Attendance: |
I understand
that each student may upon occasion need to be away from class due to illness
or other important matters. The following policy recognizes these life
issues but at the same time reflects the real world need to be present in
class in order to learn and share your learning with others in the
class. Each
student will be allowed to miss up to 4 classes, either lectures or
lab, without penalty. These absences may be for any reason and do
not require giving me an excuse. A student who is absent a fifth time
will be required to withdraw from the course if this absence occurs during
the withdrawal period of the semester. If this absence occurs after the
withdrawal period the student will receive a failing (F) grade in the
course. The four absences a student may have represents nearly 10% of
the meeting dates and far exceed any absence policy that would exist in
business, industry or other professional areas. All laboratory absences
must be made up during the semester. Exceptions
to the Attendance Policy (Verification of all exceptions is necessary):

|
Assignments: |
Homework
and lab assignments will be submitted to the FerrisConnect web page for this
class. Use the SURE 440 assignment
template provided on the course web page.
Send the assignments as attachments.
Use the following naming convention: last_name – assignment number.
For example, for lab 1 the file will have the file name: burtch – lab
1. Note that your last name is in
lower case and that there are spaces around the hyphen and also before the
number. A
cover sheet will be included with each assignment identifying the assignment,
student name, and the class. Assignments
will be typed, unless the work requires numerical solutions. It is assumed
that you can put together a correctly structured assignment, free of
technical and spelling errors. Assignments with more than 4 combined
spelling or grammar errors will be returned to be rewritten. I will
require any student that is found to have significant deficiencies in their
writing to use the services of the University Writing Center in an effort to
improve such deficiencies to a satisfactory level. When
graphical output is required for an assignment, the output should be properly
identified and located in the appropriate part of the assignment. If
the graphical output is being done by hand, it must be drawn using a
straight-edge and appropriate templates. Label all parts of the graphic
as appropriate. Work that
is submitted in hand-written form must be prepared on engineering paper in
pencil. Corrections will be erased or placed above the incorrect values
that will be stuck out with a single line through the error. Use only
the front side of the sheet. Always include units in the answer and
highlight the answer by either underlining it, placing a box around the
answer, or by using a highlighter. When you have answers that are less
than 1, always begin the number with a zero. For example, .471 shall be
written as 0.471. When writing angles, minutes and seconds must always
have two units, excluding any decimal portion. If a minute or second
contains only single units, i.e., 4 minutes, 7 seconds, the number shall be
proceeded by a zero. In this case the angle shall be written as 04’
07”. Unless otherwise stated, all angles will be presented in degrees,
minutes and seconds format. Use common sense in portrayal of
significant figures. Each assignment will be submitted in a report
folder. Unless otherwise stated, only one assignment per folder will be
accepted. See a sample at the end of
this syllabus. Lab reports will consist of a
least 3 main parts:
For term
paper requirements and speech guidelines, see the following web page: http://www.ferris.edu/faculty/burtchr/trm_papr.html. The topic for the paper must
be approved by the instructor. A topic
will be submitted to the faculty member at the end of the second week. The proposal will be a short paragraph
explaining the topic being proposed and the approach taken to research the
topic. For a list of possible topics,
see: http://www.ferris.edu/faculty/burtchr/sure440/topics.html. |

Behavior: |
It is
essential that everyone in this class establish a mutual respect amongst each
other in this class. Therefore, there are a few simple rules that you
will be asked to adhere to; most of these can be defined as good
manners. These rules are:
|
||||||||||||||||||
|
Exams
and quizzes: |
The
exams will be primarily Multiple Choice and True/False tests. This will constitute about 60-80% of the
exam, depending on the topics covered in the exams. The remaining parts of the exam will
contain Short Answer questions as well as mathematical problems. Students
absent from class for a test must make arrangements to take the exam prior to
the next class meeting. Failing to do so will result in a grade of
0%. It is the student's responsibility to call me to set up a time to
make up the test. Missing quizzes will not be made up outside of
class. This course may have a cumulative final exam. Final
examination schedule guidelines from the Registration and Academic Guide: In the
event that three or more final examinations are scheduled on the same day
during the examination week a student may elect to take only the first and
last of those regularly scheduled on that day. Such election by the student
to the affected instructor must be made no later than two weeks prior to the
exam date. It will be the responsibility of the student to present
authentication to the instructor of the course affected. The rescheduled exam
will then be taken on another day during the examination week as arranged by
the course instructor and the student. |

Grading
Percentage: |
Student performance is based on
3 general groups: exams/quizzes, term paper/presentation, and
assignments. Weight for each may vary
based on the category. Generally,
mid-term exams have a weight of 100 points while the final exam is generally
around 150 points. Quizzes, if given,
are usually assigned a weight of 10 points.
Assuming exams only, if the total number of points is 350 and you
scored an 85, 72, 137, then the number of points for exams/quizzes is (85 +
72 + 137)/3.50 * 0.60 = 50. The term
paper is based on a letter grade (A, B, C, D, F) which are then converted to
a numeric grade of (95, 85, 75, 65, 50) respectively. The assignments will have varying weights,
depending on the particular assignment.
The weights for the term paper/presentation and assignments are computed
in a similar fashion as the exams. The
final breakdown for the course grade is as shown below: The
course grading scale is:
|
||||||||||||||||||
|
Integrity: |
All of your
assignments must be developed independently. Cheating of any type will result
in loss of credit or more serious consequences. |

Student
Responsibilities: |
When
conducting field work, students must wear safety vests. In all cases, be aware of traffic. There is no reason why measurements need to
be conducted in traffic. Be aware of
your surroundings at all times. Assistance in this
course is available to help you with academic and other difficulties you may
be experiencing. It is your
responsibility to seek help. 1.
Office hours –
I will be happy to work with you during regularly scheduled office hours. 2.
Pre-scheduled
assistance outside of normal office hours (as my schedule permits). 3.
Meet with your
Academic advisor. 4.
Meet with an
educational counselor. College

Sample
Format for Homework Assignments
The following pages will show how a typical
assignment should be completed, whether solving the problem by hand or using
Mathcad. Always show the formulas when
applicable and highlight the answer.
Briefly identify the steps involved in the solution.
Drawings should be used when
appropriate. Use a straight edge,
compass and/or template when drawing figures.
Label all pertinent elements of the drawing.
The question that is answered in the next two
pages is:[1]
- The distance measured
between two points on a map to a scale of 1:62,500 is 29.05 mm. The distance measured between the images
of these same two points on a vertical photograph taken with a lens having
a 152.14 mm focal length is 54.81 mm.
Both points lie at an elevation of 240 ft. as determined from the
map. Compute the flying height for
the photograph.
The first page is the hand solution while the
second is the Mathcad solution.
