16.0 NOTES
    16.1 USE MATLAB FOR CALCULATING BODE PLOTS UNLESS ASYMTOTES ARE
         ASKED FOR.
    16.2 PROBLEMS MARKED WITH # SHOULD BE DONE WITH MATLAB, OTHERS MAY
         BE DONE WITH MATLAB IF SOLUTION IS LEFT OPEN.
17.0  GRADING POLICY
    17.1  45% 9 QUIZZES OVER THE SEMESTER
    17.2  25% LABORATORY(ALL LAB REPORTS MUST BE HANDED IN TO PASS)
    17.3  30% FINAL EXAM

NOTE:


LABS, QUIZZES, AND EXAMS ARE TO BE YOUR OWN WORK AS FOLLOWS: YOU
ARE TO NEITHER GIVE NOR RECEIVE ANDY HELP DURING AN EXAM OR QUIZ. 
THE SECTIONS OF THE LAB REPORTS THAT ARE DEFINED AS ONE PER PERSON
SHALL BE INDEPENDENT WORK.  LABS ARE TO BE HANDED IN ONE WEEK AFTER
THE LAB IS PERFORMED IN CLASS.  ALL LABS ARE REQUIRED TO BE HANDED
IN TO PASS THE COURSE.


ANY VIOLATION OF THIS WILL CAUSE THE STUDENT(S) INVOLVED TO RECEIVE A 
FAILING GRADE FOR THE COURSE AND POSSIBLE EXPULSTION FORM THE
COLLEGE.
