Phys127AL S21 course policies

• Requests for special consideration for missed exams, quizzes, or assignments, due to circumstances beyond your control, must be made in writing by email before the exam or assignment due date. Missed exams will be excused only in the case of documented illness, death in the family, or unavoidable circumstances of similar severity. Documentation demonstrating the validity of the circumstances should be submitted by email. Excused exam and quiz makeups will be done by an individualized oral examination.

• Each student is allowed to turn in one homework late by one day at some point during the quarter. If/when you want to use your late homework pass, just email the instructor a one-line statment "I am using my one-day extension pass on homework #N".

• Each student is allowed to turn in one lab late by one day at some point during the quarter. If/when you want to use your late lab pass, just email the instructor and TA a one-line statment "I am using my one-day extension pass on lab #N".

• If you turn in a homework or lab late, without use of an extension, the grade will be reduced by 25% per day. You don't need to ask for permission to be late, but you should calculate the benefit given the cost.

• Cheating in any form is not acceptable and may result in severe consequences. Don't gamble with your degree that way.
  You are encouraged to work together on homeworks and labs because discussing the different ways to solve the problems is a good learning experience. However, you need to then do the work yourself. Directly copying solutions or lab data from another student, or from an online resource, qualifies as cheating.

• Students registered with DSP must provide the necessary requests at least one week before each exam or quiz.
