FINAL EXAM

 

 

 

CONTRIBUTION OF COURSE TO MEETING THE PROFESSIONAL COMPONENT:

This course provides the student with the necesary background to preform entry-level professional work in hydraulic engineering.

 

RELATIONSHIP OF COURSE TO PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:

This course satisfies the hydraulic  components of the CAGE program.

FINAL GRADE SCALE

A+ = 97-100

B+ = 87-89

C+ = 77-79

D = 60-69

A = 94-96

B = 84-86

C = 74-76

F < 60

A- = 90-93

B- = 80-83

C- = 70-73

 

 

GENERAL POLICIES

There will be two partial exams and a final comprehensive exam in this course.   The final exam is comprehensive and includes all the material covered during the semester. The final exam will be optional.

 

Students enrolled in this course are expected to attend one of the two laboratory sessions and submit laboratory reports to the lab. instructor.  Laboratory grade will be based on student attendance, participation and laboratory reports.  Additional information on lab experimentation and student responsibilities will be provided during the first laboratory class. Those students who have taken the lab. previously, do not have to take the lab. again unless they have an extreme desire to do so.

 

Homework problems are due on the specified dates . These problems may be worked out in teams, but each student is expected to turn his/her own assignment.  Late homework will be penalized 20 percent for each workday after the deadline.  In order to take full advantage of the points obtained through the homework the student is encouraged to make sure that his/her answers are scientifically correct, and that the work is presented in a professional manner. 

 

STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

If you have or believe you have a disability, you may wish to self-identify.  You can do so by providing documentation to the Services for Students with Disabilities, SSD, located at Garcia Annex (Phone: 646-6840).  Appropriate accommodations may then be provided for you.

 

If you have a condition which may affect your ability to exit safely from the premises in an emergency or which may cause an emergency during class, you are encouraged to discuss this in confidence with the instructor and/or the director of SSD.  If you have general questions about the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), call the ADA coordinator at 646-3333.
