IRLS606 Requirements.

Last altered 10/29/01 This is still under revision.

Requirements	The course requirements are coursework participation final examination. The coursework requirement will be, by default, two papers, one due about 4 weeks and the other 8 weeks into the course, at times to be announced in class. The participation requirement is that you do a presentation in class and contribute to the discussions accompanying other presentations. The final examination will be a take-home exam of three hours duration. It will be distributed electronically on <date to come> and has to be returned by <date to come> at 11.55pm. The coursework will count for 40% of the final grade, the participation 20%, and the final exam for 40% of the grade.
Grading	The following scales will be used Internal Internal For Graduate School 90-100% A+ A 85-89% A A 80-84% A- A 75-79% B+ B 70-74% B B 65-69% B- B below 64% C C Thus, for example, a mark of Internal: 82 A- External: A on a piece of work would be seen by outsiders as an A; however, the A- will convey to you that the work can be improved.
Academic Code of Integrity	Students are expected to abide by The University of Arizona Code of Academic Integrity. 'The guiding principle of academic integrity is that a student's submitted work must be the student's own.' If you have any questions regarding what is acceptable practice under this Code, please ask an instructor.
Join our listserv	There will be a listserv for this course. It will be established about the beginning of January 2002. Most of you will be familiar with listservs. But if not: there are two email addresses you need to deal with. The first is for joining or leaving a particular group. The second is for sending messages to a group that you have joined To join, send an email message to listserv@listserv.arizona.edu with 'Subscribe IRLS606' in the body of the message. Then to send messages to all of us, send to IRLS606@listserv.arizona.edu. A trap for young players-- remember that if you read a message from a listserv then hit 'reply 'on your emailer you will be replying to all other members of the listserv (this may not be what you intend, you may wish to send a reply only to the person posting (in which case extract their email address and go from there)).
GAT	No GAT has been assigned yet.
Contacting me	Please raise queries by email: mfricke@u.arizona.edu . Students with access to the campus can see me in Room 16 during Office Hours (Wednesday 11-2).
