(a) Enrolled students are required to attend all course meetings,
and punctuality is expected. Letter grades will be assigned in this course.
The students are allowed TWO unexcused absences during the course of
the semester.
Students missing three course meetings without an excusable absence will
receive a one letter grade reduction. Students arriving more than
ten minutes late and leaving more than ten minutes early for a
course meeting will be count as absent.
Students missing five or more course meetings without an
acceptable excuse will earn an "E'' in the course.
Please note that weekly attendence at the Friday Departmental colloquia is
also required; the lack thereof can impact your Phy 770 grade in a negative
manner!
Examples of excusable absences are (University Senate rule 5.2.4.2):
(i) Illness of the student or serious illness of a member of the student's
immediate family. Written verification required.
(ii) The death of a member of the student's immediate family.
Written verification required. (iii) Trips
for members of student organizations sponsored by an
academic unit, trips for University classes, and trips for
participation in intercollegiate
athletic events. (iv) Major religious holidays.
Students are responsible for notifying the instructor
in writing of anticipated absences due to their
observance of such holidays no later than the last day for
adding a class. For all excusable absences, when feasible, the
student must notify the course coordinator (gardner "@" pa.uky.edu)
prior to the occurrence of such absences,
but in no case shall such notification occur more than one
week after the absence.
(b) Each enrolled student is required to submit a brief essay
(2-3 written pages) describing his or her research interests or goals.
The essay is due in Rm 387B (Dr. Gardner's office)
by 5pm of the Friday of the last week of class , April 25.
If your essay is not received by this time, you will receive
an "E" in the course. The content of your essay will not be graded.
The course coordinator will circulate descriptions of student
research interests to faculty members working in the same
fields, in order to facilitate connections between graduate
students and faculty members with similar research interests.
If you were enrolled previously in Phy 770, you should discuss
how your research interests have become further refined by
the end of your second semester in the program.
