Inform your instructor of absences in advance via email. Please include the reason for the absence and any relevant SCA. Check the SCA to see if instructor permission is required and if it is, make the request prior to the absence. You will be given an Unexcused Absence in CAS if you fail to get permission.
If you plan to miss a class, you must take any quiz or GR prior to your departure.
Due to the limited time to conduct labs and the fact they are executed in groups, you can not miss both lab days unless you have a medical excuse due to unplanned illness. You can miss one lab day, but depending on situation (e.g., something you could have avoided), you may loose points for the lab.
If you are expecting to miss class on the day an assignment is due, you shall turn in your assignment prior to your departure. Your instructor may grant a no-penalty turn-in extension for absences resulting from illness or other legitimate extenuating circumstances. Cadets shall coordinate late submittals in advance. The late policy for the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is as follows:
| How Late? | Max Penalty | Max Grade |
|---|---|---|
| < 1 day | 25% | 75% |
| 2 day | 50% | 50% |
| 3 day | 75% | 25% |
| > 3 day | 100% | 0% |
You may receive help from any DFEC faculty member on the homework. Do not work with other students in the class or who have taken the class previously. Document all help received on work submitted for grading IAW DF policies, or document none if your work was completely individual effort.
The labs are performed in groups of no more than 3 students. Each lab will build on the homework, in class lectures and readings. The purpose of the labs is to provide hands on experience with the topics discussed in the lectures. The final project will focus on the Roomba robot, controls, computer vision, and path planning.
All team members will receive the same grade unless it is identified that all members did not equally help out. The offending member(s) will receive a scaled grade equal to the team grade time 0.75. If this happens more than once, then the offending individual will become a team of one.
