Instructional Methods and
the Classroom Experience:
Each week will consist of both lecture and in-class labs. The lecture sessions will be interactive and aided by slide presentations. You are expected to participate, ask questions or present comments. The in-class labs will cover the material presented during the lecture.
Course Requirements:
·
Students are expected to attend all class
sessions and participate in the in-class labs. Since in-class labs are part of
your grade, attendance is mandatory.
Students are expected to work through the in-class labs either individually
or in groups (when assigned by instructor).
·
Students are expected to read chapters
corresponding to the materials discussed in class.
Grading:
There
will be 3 exams covering the material presented in class, concepts from lab
exercises and the relevant sections in the text. Graduate and Undergraduate
students will be graded separately and on different curves. Grading for this
course will be based upon your work in the lab, participation, exams, and will
be distributed as follows:
|
Undergraduate
IS451M |
Graduate
IS651M |

Make-up Policy
Make-up exams are NOT given
except through arrangement with the instructor PRIOR to the exam date and only
for exceptional circumstances. Any make-up exam given will not be the same as
the original, and will potentially be more difficult. Written and
unquestionable proof of the extenuating circumstances must be presented to be
eligible for a make-up.
Lab assignments can be
made-up throughout the semester during the class periods. A number of absences
will directly affect your Lab/Attendance/Participation grade.
Grading Standards
Grades for the exams and quizzes, as well as final grades will be posted on Blackboard.
With respect to final letter
grades, the University's Undergraduate Catalogue states that:
"A indicates superior achievement; B good
performance; C adequate performance; D minimal performance; F failure".
There is specifically no mention of any numerical scores associated with these
letter grades. Consequently, there are no pre-defined numerical
demarcations that determine final letter grades; these can be defined only at the
end of the semester after all numerical grades have been earned. At that
point, numerical demarcations for final letter grades can be defined such that
final letter grades in this course conform to the University's officially
published definitions of the respective letter grades. In
accordance with the published University grading policy, it is important to
understand that final letter grades reflect academic achievement and not
effort. While mistakes in the arithmetic computation of grades and
grade recording errors will be corrected, it is important to understand that in
all other situations, final letter
grades are not negotiable and challenges to final letter grades are not
entertained.
By enrolling in this
course, each student assumes the responsibilities of an active participant in
UMBC’s scholarly community in which everyone’s academic work and behavior are
held to the highest standards of honesty. Cheating, fabricating, plagiarism,
and helping others to commit these acts are all forms of academic dishonesty
and they are wrong. Academic misconduct could result in disciplinary action
that may include, but is not limited to, suspension or dismissal. Full policies
on academic integrity should be available in the UMBC Student Handbook, Faculty
Handbook, or the UMBC Directory.
Student Disability
Services
UMBC is committed to
eliminating discriminatory obstacles that may disadvantage students based on
disability. Services for students with disabilities are provided for all
students qualified under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the ADAA
of 2009, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act who request and are eligible

inclusion in their courses. If you have a documented disability and need to

appointment to meet with me to discuss your SDS-approved accommodations.

Inclement Weather
Any work or test due on a class date that has been canceled due to inclement weather will be due the next class meeting. If the semester’s last exam is postponed, it will be given during the time period assigned during the University’s official Final Exam week.
Disclosure of Sexual Misconduct and
Child Abuse and Neglect
Any
student who has experienced sexual harassment or assault, relationship
violence, and/or stalking is encouraged to seek support and resources.
There are a number of resources available to you.
With that said, as an instructor,
I am considered a Responsible Employee, per UMBC's Interim Policy on
Prohibited Sexual Misconduct. Interpersonal Violence, and Other Related Misconduct.
This means that while I am here to listen and support you, I am required to
report disclosures of sexual assault, domestic violence, relationship violence,
stalking, and/or gender-based harassment to the University's Title IX
Coordinator. The purpose of these requirements is for the University to inform
you of options, supports, and resources.
You can utilize support and
resources even if you do not want to take any further action. You will not be forced to file a police report, but please
be aware, depending on the nature of the offense, the University may take
action.
If you need to speak with
someone in confidence about an incident, UMBC has the following Confidential
Resources available to support you: The
