ATTENDANCE
Regular attendance is necessary to maintain pace with the
lectures and the progress of the class. If you must be absent, please make sure you know
the assignment for the following class meeting and turn in any work due that day.
MAKE-UP WORK
Generally, if a student misses a quiz or an exam, a score of zero will be
recorded. However, the student may be allowed to make up an exam if a valid
reason for the absence is presented to the instructor at the next class meeting.
If the student must miss an exam because of a conflict in their schedule, they must notify the instructor in
writing at least two days before the absence.
CIVL
4122 - Homework Format -
pdf version
All assignments are to be submitted on engineering paper.
You may use any type of engineering paper as long as it has a background grid. The example
page below is for the paper available in the bookstore. If an alternate form of paper is
used, the headings at the top of the page should be modified to match the printed
partitions, however, the remainder of the instructions apply equally to either form.
Work should be done in pencil, and a lead hardness used
which produces good contrast to the paper. Figures should be drawn with a straight edge
and if appropriate, a circle template or compass. The layout and appearance of your work
should be of professional quality. Work no more than one problem per page. Do not use the
back of a page for any reason. All pages should be ordered by page number and stapled. A
good guide for this standard is to prepare each assignment as if it were to be kept on
file and sent to prospective employers as an example of your work at University of
Memphis.
Homework is due at the beginning of class on the due date.
.
To account for a missed assignment, even with an valid excuse, one homework assignment will be dropped for
consideration in computing the homework average.

Academic
Integrity
The University of Memphis
expects all student to behave honestly. The
Student Code of Rights and
Responsibilities
explains what constitutes a violation of our
Academic Integrity policy. Please see the Office
of Student Accountability's website for more
information:
https://www.memphis.edu/osa/. Plagiarism,
cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty
are prohibited. Students who violate the
academic misconduct policy, either directly or
indirectly, through participation or assistance,
are immediately responsible to the instructor of
the class in addition to other possible
disciplinary sanctions which may be imposed
through the regular institutional disciplinary
procedures.
Examples of academic dishonesty include, but are
not limited to:
- Cheating – A student
uses a smart phone to access the internet
while taking a quiz.
- Copyright
infringement – A student uses a photograph
found on the internet in a presentation
without obtaining permission from the
photographer.
- Deception – A
student gives a dishonest excuse when asking
for a deadline extension.
- Denying access to
information or material – A student makes
library or shared resource material
unavailable to others by deliberately
misplacing those resources.
- Fabrication – A
student invents data in an academic work.
- Facilitating
academic misconduct – A student knowingly
allows a portion of their work to be used by
another student.
- Plagiarism – A
student represents the ideas of another in a
paper without citing and referencing the
work or a student turns in the same or
nearly the same assignment for credit in
more than one class.
- Sabotage – A student
prevents others from completing their work
by opening a window to affect a temperature
controlled experiment.
- Unauthorized
collaboration – A student works with other
students on a paper without the specific
permission of the instructor.
Classroom
Behavior
Students should be aware
of the
Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities
which describes examples of unacceptable
classroom behavior. Disruptive classroom
behavior will not be tolerated. Instructors are
empowered to remove students from class and
refer behaviors for sanctioning to the Office of
Student Accountability.
Equity,
Inclusion, and Accommodations

forms of diversity. The University of Memphis
embraces the diversity of students, faculty, and
staff, honors the inherent dignity of each

origins, sexual orientations, ethnicities,
genders and gender identities, cognitive,
physical, and behavioral abilities,
socioeconomic backgrounds, regions, immigrant
statuses, military or veteran statuses, size

a student's eligibility for specific
accommodations from the Disability Resources for

Mental Health
As a student you can
sometimes feel overwhelmed, lost, experience
anxiety or depression, and struggle with
relationship difficulties or diminished
self-esteem. Mental health challenges can
interfere with optimal academic performance.
However, many of these issues can be effectively
addressed with some help. If you find yourself
struggling with your mental or physical health
this semester, please feel free to approach me.
I will try to be flexible and accommodating. As
your instructor, I am not qualified to serve as
a counselor, but UofM offers confidential
counseling services on-campus and via telehealth
that are available to students taking six or
more credits at no cost. UofM Counseling Center
is staffed by experienced, professional
psychologists, clinical social workers, and
counselors, who are attuned to the needs of
college students. I strongly encourage you to
take advantage of this valuable resource. To
