for you to carry out the work as I have outlined in this syllabus or which
will require academic accommodations, please notify me the first two weeks of
the course.

Harassment Policy:
I believe that engineers must not only be the people who know how to do things
right, but also those who know the right things to do. (Quote by Dr.
Joseph Bordogna, National Science Foundation) One purpose of your education
is to help you develop skills, approaches, and abilities that are necessary
for effective teamwork, and for your success in your profession and as a
citizen. It is important that you understand your rights and responsibilities
regarding the University's Sexual and Racial Harassment policies. (full text
of the policies can be found on KSU s web site at
http://www.ksu.edu/uauc/fhbook/fhxj.html.)
If you experience any situations, in or out of class, that seem inappropriate
or that make you uncomfortable, a list of resources and courses of action to
assist you can be found on the College of Engineering web site at
http://www.engg.ksu.edu/students/statement-harassment.htm.
Honor System:
Kansas State University has an Undergraduate Honor System based on personal
integrity which is presumed to be sufficient assurance in academic matters
one's work is performed honestly and without unauthorized assistance.
Undergraduate students, by registration, acknowledge the jurisdiction of the
Undergraduate Honor System. The policies and procedures of the Undergraduate
Honor System apply to all full and part-time students enrolled in
undergraduate courses on-campus, off-campus, and via distance learning.
A component vital to the Honor System is the inclusion of the Honor Pledge
which applies to all assignments, examinations, or other course work
undertaken by undergraduate students. The Honor Pledge is implied, whether or
not it is stated: On my honor, as a student, I have neither given nor
received unauthorized aid on this academic work.
A grade of XF can result from a breach of academic honesty. An XF would be
failure of the course with the X on the transcript indicating failure as a
result of a breach of academic honesty.
