Grading will be approximately 90-80-70-60, never tighter.  Historically grades have been 35% A,
35% B, 20% C, and 10% D/F in my sections of this course.  Tests will count 100 points each; the
paper will count 50 points  Homework will be reviewed in detail on the due date shown.  Tests
will not be comprehensive; however, the nature of the course material is such that the final
automatically covers much of the course material.  Late work will, in general, not be accepted.

The paper should be 3 to 7 pages in length with references (in any proper engineering format)
from significant sources (IIE Transactions, IEEE Transactions on Engr. Mgt., Intl. J. of
Production Research, Mgt. Science, etc.)  One inch margins and 1.5 spacing should be used.  In
general, introduce the topic and develop a position; you are a senior engineer writing a position
paper for your Chief Engineer.

The above schedule and procedures are subject to change in the event of extenuating
circumstances.  Any student with difficulty in meeting these requirements should contact the
instructor as soon as possible for an attempt to resolve the difficulty.  The student is expected to
have met the published pre-requisites for this course.  Any student who has not met the pre-
requisite should immediately contact their academic advisor.
