Class Policies

Homework is due by 5 pm on the date announced.  Students will be assessed a 20% penalty per day for late work, and work will not be accepted 2 days beyond the announced due date.

You are encouraged to discuss homework problems with one another;  however, cheating (e.g., copying) is strictly forbidden and could result in suspension or expulsion from the University.  Don’t even think about doing it!  If you're unsure about the rules or their interpretation, speak with Dr. Droegemeier or visit http://www.ou.edu/provost/pronew/content/integritymenu.html

Two in-class examinations, as well as a comprehensive final exam, will be given.  See the class page for further details

You are strongly encouraged to meet with Dr. Droegemeier or Mr. Reader during their office hours if you are having trouble with the material.  You may also schedule an appointment with them (see class page).  Email is an excellent way to obtain clarification, and the addresses of Dr. Droegemeier and Mr. Reader are given on the class page.  Please take advantage of  office hours!  Do NOT wait until the final exam to begin studying!   The best way to ensure success is to keep up with the course material and to ask questions.  Students who actively participate in lectures and avail themselves of office hours typically learn and retain the material at a much higher level.  

Finally, HAVE FUN!  This course will examine some of the most fascinating of all atmospheric phenomena, and will provide you an opportunity to study the atmosphere using real time observations.  Take advantage of it!  Attend class, read the assignments, and enjoy!
