Summer School Policies
Description:
Welcome to the Summer School in Nuclear and Radiochemistry, held
every summer at Brookhaven National Laboratory. This six week
program is one of two sponsored by the American Chemical Society and
is funded by the Department of Energy. The program consists of two
courses, a lecture course (CHE-361) and a laboratory course
(CHE-362). Three credits for each course will be offered by the
State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook without tuition
expenses attached. The
school will cover the fundamentals of nuclear theory,
radiochemistry, nuclear instrumentation, radiological safety, and
applications to related fields. In addition, there are special
events including special symposia, guest lectures, field trips to
various research facilities at Brookhaven National Laboratory as
well as off-site and social events. Typical topics are:
- Nuclear Medicine
- Nuclear Power
- Fundamental Particle Physics
- Environmental Radiochemistry
Students
will meet and interact with many leading scientists in these various
fields.
Honor Code:
These courses are conducted under the Honor Code of the State
University of New York at Stony Brook. Please consult the Stony
Brook website for information regarding policies and procedures
governing academic honesty at http://naples.cc.sunysb.edu/CAS/ajc.nsf/pages/info.
Students are encouraged to work together on homework and the
collection of data in the laboratory, however, all exams and lab
reports represent an individual effort. When in doubt about any
assignment, especially the writing of laboratory reports with regard
to plagiarism, see the teaching assistants, instructors or site
director for guidance.
Attendance:
It is expected that students will be punctual, attend all lectures,
special topic talks, symposiums, and organized outings. Everyone is
tardy or sleepy on occasion but habitual tardiness or sleepiness
(you will be warned after 2 instances) will result in a 5% reduction
of total possible points for the course.
Coursework:
All required work (reports, term papers) is expected to be turned in
at the assigned time. Late assignments will result in a
reduction of 20% of the total possible points. CHE-361 will involve
nightly homework assignments. These
assignments will be reviewed the next morning by the lecturer with
typically student involvement at the blackboard.
Doing your homework is encouraged and will count toward your
classroom participation grade.
Unusual circumstances for tardiness on assignments (sickness,
etc…) shall be discussed with the Site Director on a case by case
basis.
Grades:
Dr. Richard Ferrieri, the Site Director, is responsible for the
assignment of all grades. Further details are found in the course
descriptions.
