Course Assignments
There are three types of assignments that will be utilized in this course: homework, projects, and participation (3-2-1) assignments.
A Typical Week
| Day of Week | Activity |
|---|---|
| Monday Weekly Material posted in Blackboard | |
| Thursday | Optional Zoom Meeting at 8:00 pm |
| Friday | Previous Week's assignment(s) are due |
Tentative Assignment Dates
Students should expect to submit weekly homework assignments. In addition to the weekly homework assignments, there will be project assignments and 3-2-1 Assignments. The tentative schedule for 3-2-1 Assignments is given in the table below.
| Week | Topic(s) |
|---|---|
| 5 | Chapters 1-3 |
| 9 | Chapters 4-7 |
| 10 | Chapter 8 |
| 12 | Chapters 10-11 |
| 16 | Remainder of course materials |
There will be two major projects: Fractional Factorial Design and Response Surface Methodology. The tentative schedule for the the projects is given in the table below.
| Project Assignment | Assignment Date |
|---|---|
| Fractional Factorial Design, part 1 | February 6, 2024 |
| Fractional Factorial Design, part 2 | March 26, 2024 |
| Response Surface Methodology | April 9, 2024 |
Assessment of Learning
Your performance in this course will be assessed in the following manner:
| Component | % of Overall Grade |
|---|---|
| Homework | 25% |
| Fractional Factorial Projects | 30% |
| RSM Project | 30% |
| Participation | 15% |
Homework
There is only one method to learn and master engineering material - work problems. The best method to ensure that you excel in this course is to diligently complete all of your homework assignments. There will be representative homework problems assigned each week. Solutions will be posted in Blackboard one week after the due date of each homework assignment.
Fractional Factorial Projects
You will have two individual project assignments that are worth 30% of your overall course grade. The first project is to analyze the current operating condition of a manufacturing plant. The second project is to perform a fractional factorial design. The weighting of the two project grades will be announced during the semester.
RSM Project
In lieu of a final examination, a response surface methodology project will be completed by each student.
Participation
Embedded in the lesson materials will be various assignments such as 3-2-1 assignments that are more reflective in nature.
Letter Grade Assignment
An overall course average will be calculated using the weighting scheme specified above. Your course average will be a value between 0 and 100. Your final letter grade will be assigned using the following definition.
| Course Average | Letter Grade |
|---|---|
| 90 - 100 | A |
| 80 - 89 | B |
| 70 - 79 | C |
| <70 | F |
Late Work
Descriptions of each assignment, including due dates, will be provided throughout the course. All assignments should be submitted on their due date using the provided Blackboard drop box. The course policy for late work is a 10% penalty per day for work submitted after the deadline. After one week, no credit will be given for late work. No late work will be accepted after study days. There mayl be certain assignments where late work will not be accepted. This fact will clearly be stated in the apporpriate assignments.
Students who miss graded assignments will receive a grade of zero. If you are ill or have a serious problem that prevents you from submitting an assignment on the day it is due, please contact me prior to the due date (if possible) and we will arrange an alternative date.
