Self Evaluation of the Course: The class had 32 students. In my opinion about one-half of the enrolled students had the required knowledge from pre-requisite classes to be adequately prepared for the class. The effectiveness of delivering the necessary technical information in dynamics is limited by the other half student body. The most effective way to improve this situation is to have the students better educated in Statics and Physics before taking on this class.

Homework should be submitted to your section TA for grading. Homework submittal by email is preferred. However, paper submittal will also be accepted. Homework should be completed independently. Copied homework will be dealt with in accordance to the Honor Code of the University of South Carolina. If the homework is not handed on time, it is late, and the following penalty system applies: Up to 24 hours from the due date, 10 points 24 to 48 hours from the due date, 20 points 48 to 72 hours from the due date, 30 points More than 72 hours from the due date, 40 points After one week, ALL points will be penalized. Laboratory Requirements All students are required to attend their laboratory sections. Labs meet once a week, three hours a session. Other lab policies will be announced on the first day of the lab.

Project Requirements All students will be required to complete a practical project for this course. In addition to this final deadline, several other intermediate "milestones" are required. For in-depth information on the specific project requirements see the project section. Tests: Two tests will be given during the semester. Test will determine 20% (10% each) of your final average. Test will be open book and note but you have to do them independently.
