Textbook and References
   

Required Textbook:
Structural Analysis by R.C. Hibbeler (4-th Edition) Prentice-Hall (NJ)

References:
None

Grading Policy
   

  1. Homeworks will be assigned and collected
  2. No late assignments will be accepted
  3. Approx. 2 or 3 tests + Final exam will be given
  4. Course grade will be based upon:
    2 or 3 tests 60% + final exam 40%
  5. Numerical accuracy of calculations is critical for grading tests/exam
  6. No make-up quizes,tests or final exam will be given, unless medical certificate of illness is shown (Make-up Test will be MORE DIFFICULT than the regular test !!)


Attendance Policy

Attendance is not required but is strongly recommended since absences can have a negative effect on the student's learning and performance. Also, a student must be present for all quizzes, tests, and examinations.

Honor Code
All homework, quizzes, and exams that are turned in for credit should contain either the honor code pledge written out completely, or the words "Honor Pledge" witten next to your signature. Collaboration with others is permissible on homework assignments only.
