At http://www.me.unlv.edu/coursenotes/coursenotes1.htm you’ll find a copy of this schedule. Select MEG 207 Course Information and MEG 207 Dynamics Syllabus. This schedule and homework assignments will be updated weekly. The MEG 207 page also contains Mathcad examples.

FINAL EXAM: Wednesday, May 15 3:10 p.m.

Advice on Homework: You may, at your discretion, submit homework assignments using using the Mathcad software, which is installed on the PC's in the Engineering Building. Problems with a C-prefix MUST be solved on a computer. You may buy a low-cost student edition of Mathcad for yourself to use at home. By using Mathcad because you will gain several major advantages: Help with the solution process, correct evaluation of formulae, always correct answers, and a clean copy of each assignment. In addition, the practice gained with the software will be extremely useful in future courses and in your professional work. Mathcad sample files are posted on the MEG 207 web page. Copy and save sample files to your network PC. You need an active account on the college network for this. Mathcad is contained on the college PC’s in the windows group 'Mathworks.'

Policies: Homework is due twice weekly each Monday and each Friday BEFORE class on the date shown in the schedule. Late homework is NOT accepted. Students who submit no homework when due, or who submit fewer than three solved problems, MUST submit an alternate set of problem assignments before the following class meeting, for a maximum of ½ the original assignment’s credits. Students failing to submit two or more alternate homework sets will be dropped. Alternate assignments will be posted on the class web page only, and only when requested by a student. All tests are closed book and closed notes. Make-up tests will NOT be given. Exceptions are made only if student provides valid reason for absence PRIOR to the test date. All students are expected to attend class regularly. Only students who have completed the prerequisite courses are eligible for participation in this course; ineligible students will be dropped. Students with less than 85% attendance record will be dropped. Students with disabilities may request accommodations through the disability resource center. Students requiring accommodations with regard to religious holidays must request these from the instructor in writing no later than Friday, 1/19/2001.
