Policies:

This is class is your first step toward becoming a professional chemical
engineer. As professionals, we must always strive to uphold standards of
honesty and integrity. (AIChE,
our professional society, has adopted a code
of ethics in order to define our commitments.) Respect for each
other is a vital element of the profession.
Attendance in class and completion of assignments are expected. |
Office Hours:

Classnet:

We will use an ISU WWW application called Classnet.
This is an excellent way to ask questions and keep track of your
scores. Your login is your email address. Your initial password is the
middle group of 9 digits of your ISU card no. |
ChE Computer Labs:
|
Pentium III-450 computers for your use are located in RM 1150 Sweeney.
You must have a ChE computer account to access these machines. Your
username will be the same as your Project Vincent account. Email Don
Schlagel (schlage@iastate.edu) to get your
password or if you already have an account but have forgotten your password.
Each student is provided with 30 MB of space, so you may want to purchase
ZIP disks to back up your work. Guidelines and a list of software available
are posted in the lab. |
Homework:
|
Homework assignments are used as a means to help you accomplish the
objectives this semester. There will be 8 assignments. |
Grading:
|
Grades will be posted on ClassNet. On ClassNet, "0" means not yet
completed or attended, "1" means complete. Each class attendance is worth
one point. The last class in the semester is mandatory. Each assignment is
worth one point. You will receive a
satisfactory grade (S) if you obtain at least 18 (out of 19) points.

Special Needs:
|
Any student with special learning needs is encouraged to see me immediately
so that we can make any necessary accommodations. |
Fluidity:
|
The syllabus and assignment sheets are subject to change! Teaching and learning are
ongoing processes, and adaptation to a given class's temperament and skills is often
necessary! |
