Quizzes will be given time to time in class with or without prior
notice. Quizzes are graded for credits only, limited to 5% of total
grade. Quizzes missed cannot be made up.
Letter grades will be assigned by the instructor based on
satisfactory performance.

Attendance
Policy (5%):

Regular attendance of the class is expected. Up to two absences


from class per semester are automatically forgiven. Academic
conflict, which may be excused, should have advanced claims and
approval in written (email or fax accepted).

Homework
(35%):

Students discussion is encouraged; however homework


assignments must be completed individually with collaborating
classmates identified. Copied work will not be accepted and both
parties will be discredited. HW may be submitted in class or to the
instructors door dropbox (BSE 1.552) by the end of the due day.
Solutions will be discussed in class following the collection of the
work. Late homework will have 15% automatic deduction. Once
the solution is discussed in class late homework submission will no
longer be graded.

Learning Assistance:
Although you will need to talk to the instructor for course content, I encourage you to utilize the academic
support services available to you through the Toms Rivera Center (TRC) to assist you with building
study and time management skills. These services are available at no additional cost to you. The TRC
has several locations at the Main Campus and is also located at the Downtown Campus. For more
information, visit the web site at www.utsa.edu/trcss or call (210) 458-4694 on the Main Campus.
Disability Access Statement:
Physical or learning disability may be considered and every effort will be made to accommodate the
special need. Please discuss with the instructor at the beginning of the semester regarding any special
learning conditions.
Academic Integrity:
Academic integrity is expected and upheld for each and every aspect of the course. Discussion is
encouraged to enhance learning; however submitted work must be ones own. Rules of exam must be
strictly followed.
Academic Dishonesty:
As an entity of The University of Texas at San Antonio, the Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering is committed to the development of its students and to the promotion of personal integrity
and self-responsibility. The assumption that a student's work is a fair representation of the student's
ability to perform forms the basis for departmental and institutional quality. All students within the
Department are expected to observe appropriate standards of conduct. Acts of scholastic dishonesty such
as cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable
in whole or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, any act designated to give
unfair advantage to a student, or the attempt to commit such acts will not be tolerated. Any case
involving academic dishonesty will be referred to the Office of Student Judicial Affairs who will
investigate the charge and set a preliminary meeting with the student to discuss disposition.
Consequences of academic dishonesty may be as severe as dismissal from the University.
The Roadrunner Creed www.utsa.edu/about/creed:

The University of Texas at San Antonio is a community of scholars where integrity, excellence,
inclusiveness, respect, collaboration, and innovation are fostered.
As a Roadrunner, I will:
Uphold the highest standards of academic
and personal integrity by practicing and
expecting fair and ethical conduct;
Respect and accept individual differences,
recognizing the inherent dignity of each
person;
Contribute to campus life and the larger
community through my active engagement;
and
Support the fearless exploration of dreams
and ideas in the advancement of ingenuity,
creativity, and discovery.
Guided by these principles now and forever, I am a
Roadrunner!
