Unexcused absences may be reflected as a reduction in 7 your final grade average. Class attendance is expected and an attendance record will be kept. Your class attendance is essential, since it deals with the following important considerations for you to: 1) participate and listen to other classmates' points of view; 2) participate in the discussion and offer support, raise new issues, ask for clarification, and express your own ideas; and 3) enrich the class discussions with example cases and/or personal experiences, etc. All students admitted to the University of Academic Honesty: Florida have signed a statement of academic honesty committing themselves to be honest in all academic work and understanding that failure to comply with this commitment will result in disciplinary action. This statement is a reminder to uphold your obligation as a student at the University of Florida and to be honest in all work submitted and exams taken in this class and all others. Homework (HW) Assignments Homework, besides your listed reading assignments, will be assigned during the class periods indicated and will be due at the beginning of the class period of the due date. Late homework counts only for legitimate reasons. Incomplete homework assignments are not recorded. Homework should be submitted as Word file on WebCT and must be uploaded before the dead line given. Late home works can be submitted to professor in the next class. They will be graded half of the total grade depending upon how late they are. Term Paper The objective of the term paper is to work in depth on a topic of interest to the students in the area of Infrastructure Management. Each group of students may propose a topic; refer to the attached list of topics or contact instructor for suggestions. The term paper may consist of an empirical analysis using field, laboratory data or data from Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) at statistics@bts.gov. Etc.

Detailed reference style instructions are available on request from the Publications Office. Footnotes Do not use footnotes to the text. Incorporate the information into the text or delete the notes. Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Symbols Abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols must be fully defined the first time they are used in the paper; the definition should be given first, followed by the abbreviated term in parentheses. Acknowledgment Authors of papers that report results of research sponsored directly or indirectly by federal programs should indicate this sponsorship in an Acknowledgment section at the end of the text, above References. Appendices Do not use appendices. Include pertinent material in the paper itself or, where necessary, include a note that background material, such as derivation of formulas, specifications, or survey forms, is available from the author or in another report, which should be cited in the reference list.

Give each figure a caption. Place a figure caption single-spaced below each figure. If a figure contains several parts (a, b, c, etc.), cite each part in the caption and label each corresponding part on the figure using the same size type as that in the rest of the figure. 3. Number figures consecutively in the order first cited in text, using Arabic numerals. Reference must be made to each figure by number at the appropriate place in the text. 4. Avoid the use of dots or "screens" in artwork and spreadsheet charts, especially in areas that include type. As alternatives to dots or screens, consider stripes and crosshatching but not for areas that include type. If dots or screens are used, they should be no more than 30% black. If more than one dot or screen weight is used, there should be a difference of at least 10% between dot or screen values. Legends identifying the significance of dotted, screened or crosshatched elements must be included in the figure. 11 5. Do not place a box or ruled frame around a finished figure. 6. Figures should be clear and legible: The font (typeface) must be easily readable, not too small. Use the same font for all figures. Letters and symbols must be uniform and the same size throughout the figure (e.g., if wording on the ordinate and abscissa is in 10-point type, the symbols used to identify the data points also should be in 10-point type). Line weights (except for lines indicating different data series in a graph) also must be uniform. References: Use the libraries of the City(s), County(s), Florida Department of Transportation, University of Florida, T2 (5th floor of Weil Hall), as well as videos, the Internet, the League of Cities, public works journals, public works reports, civil engineering journals, transportation engineering journals, and material from organizations, such as the TRB, ITE, ASCE, etc. Note: You can choose any city or county to which you have access.
