(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, in addition, that weekly attendence at the Friday
Departmental colloquia is also expected; the same attendance policy applies
to colloquia.
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 (Professor Straley)
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 as a pdf file emailed
to jstraley@g.uky.edu by 5:00 pm of
the Friday of finals week (Dec. 14). 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.
