Tentative Grading Policy

The grades will be determined based on class participation, homework assignments, two mid-
terms, and a final exam according to the rule:
Total = CP x 5 % + Hmwk x 20% + Mid-Terms x 40% + Final x 35%.
Class attendance and participation will be considered in borderline cases.
A 90 – 100
B 80 – 90
C 65 – 80
D 50 – 65
Homework Assignments:
 Due at the beginning of the class on the due date. Solutions to the homework will be
posted on the web at the time that they are due. Therefore, NO LATE HOMEWORK will be
accepted.
 Electronic submissions will be accepted before the class starts.
 Late homework will not be accepted without formal documentation of extenuating
circumstances (e.g. a note from a Dean, a physician, etc.).
Course Policies: 1. NO CELL PHONES are allowed during lecture. 2. Be on time to class. Tardy is
discouraged. 3. No make-up exams/quizzes. If you miss the exam, a zero score will be assigned to
the missed exam/quiz. 4. If you miss a class due to personal emergency or medical reasons, please
be sure to inform the instructor by e-mail. 5. Homework assignments are to be submitted by the
due date. You may discuss homework problems with your classmates, but you are responsible for
your own works. 6. After an assignment grade has been posted online, students must see the
instructor within one week if they wish to discuss the assignment and their work.
Principles of Community: Students are expected to be polite and professional when interacting
with one another and with the instructor. Abusive or insensitive behavior will not be tolerated.
Academic Support: The instructor will provide assistance through normal protocols, such as
office hours, but cannot serve as a private tutor.
Special Accommodations: Special accommodations can be made for students with disabilities.
Please bring any such issues to the instructor’s attention no later than the second week of class.
Health and Well-Being: Georgia Tech and the School of Aerospace Engineering understand that
many students experience stress through a variety of academic, financial and personal
experiences. We value you and want to make you aware of resources available to you should you
need them. Your well-being and mental health are important, and we are here for you.
