Attendance, Teamwork, Class Participation, and Attitude: 25% Today's engineer must work effectively in a team. Best results are accomplished when all team members work together, compromise, and openly communicate with each other. Students are expected to have a positive attitude in class. In-class behavioral expectations are the same as professional work expectations. It is OK to stand in the back if you need to move around. This grading is done after each and every class period.

Semester Grades: There are two progress report periods for grades and then the final semester grade. The two progress reporting periods may have marks of + or - but the semester grade will have only the letter grade..
Attendance Report: Consistent attendance is an important in the workforce. Phone calls will be going home after the 3rd absence in a semester.
Extra Credit: In general there isn't going to be any extra credit assignments. You may always negotiate with Mr. K., but he has the right of refusal.
How to stay in class: Equipment in this lab is expensive. Fooling around which might break any item will cause severe penalties, including class expulsion. The expectations for student behavior are higher in this class.
Late assignments: I will accept late assignments for one day but there will be a 10% penalty. I may accept later turn-ins if there are extenuating circumstances.
