Course Requirements and Assignments SJSU classes are designed such that in order to be successful, it is expected that students will spend a minimum of forty- five hours for each unit of credit (normally three hours per unit per week), including preparing for class, participating in course activities, completing assignments, and so on. More details about student workload can be found in University Policy S12-3 at http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/docs/S12-3.pdf. Programming Project: Students are responsible for working in a team to write an FEA code using any programming language. Details will be provided via separate documentation. ANSYS Project: Students are responsible for working in a team to do a project using ANSYS. Details will be provided via separate documentation. ANSYS Presentation: Students are responsible for working in a team to give a presentation about the topic of their project. Details will be provided via separate documentation. Homework: Homework problems will be assigned corresponding to lecture topics and reading assignments from the textbooks. Late submission receives zero credit. See “Exceptions” below regarding petition for extenuating circumstances. Participation Tasks: Students are expected to watch all the lecture videos within one week from their upload date. Exams: There are one midterm and one final exam. Exams will be proctored and students are expected to turn on their cameras. If cheating is suspected, the proctored videos may be used for further inspection and may become part of the student’s disciplinary record. All students are expected to complete exams as scheduled. There are no make-up exams, but for truly unavoidable and extenuating circumstances with firm documentation, a student may petition to have weight redistributed to the final exam. Disability accommodations must be coordinated through the Accessible Education Center http://www.sjsu.edu/aec. Grading Policy The course grade will be weighted as follows: 10% for Programming Project 15% for ANSYS Project 10% for ANSYS Presentation ME 273 Finite Element Methods in Engineering Page 3 of 5 10% for Homework 5% for Participation Tasks 20% for Midterm Exam 30% for Final Exam The overall course grade is calculated from a weighted sum of all graded components. Graded percentage points correspond to letter grade as follows: 93.0-100 A | 90.0-92.9 A- | 87.0-89.9 B+ | 83.0-86.9 B | 80.0-82.9 B- 77.0-79.9 C+ | 73.0-76.9 C | 70.0-72.9 C- | 0-69.9 F Exceptions: Any grading appeals or late petitions must be petitioned promptly in writing (or email). Exceptions will normally be evaluated at the very end of the semester in context with semester track record and all other exceptions class- wide. Special consideration for truly unavoidable and extenuating circumstances will depend on timing and strength of supporting documentation (e.g., doctor's note, jury summons, military orders). University Policy F13-1 at http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/docs/F13-1.pdf states: “All students have the right, within a reasonable time, to know their academic scores, to review their grade-dependent work, and to be provided with explanations for the determination of their course grades.” University Policies General Expectations, Rights and Responsibilities of the Student As members of the academic community, students accept both the rights and responsibilities incumbent upon all members of the institution.
