Students must complete all course work within the bounds of a semester unless they petition for and are granted an Incomplete by the CSA Committee on Academic Standing. Students may be granted an Incomplete only in rare circumstances such as an incapacitating illness as certified by Health Services at Columbia, serious family emergency, or circumstances of comparable gravity which prevent the completion of work specifically due at the end of the semester.
To be granted an Incomplete, it is expected that students will have completed all work in the class except for the final project or exam, and students must provide official supporting documentation certifying the reasons for the request. Please note that final authorization of all Incompletes requires approval of the Committee on Academic Standing; individual faculty members and instructors are NOT authorized to grant Incompletes.
Students who wish to petition for an Incomplete must do the following:
A) Contact/make an appointment with their Advising Dean to discuss the request. If the circumstances appear to warrant an Incomplete, they will be provided with an application to request an Incomplete. This petition includes a form to be completed by their instructor(s).
B) Request that the instructor(s) complete the instructor form. Instructors will be asked to provide a contingency grade in the event that the student does not finish the assigned work. The completed instructor form must be provided in order for the Incomplete application to be reviewed by the Committee on Academic Standing.
C) Obtain supporting documentation from Health Services or other source(s) appropriate to the reason you are requesting an Incomplete.
D) Submit all completed forms and supporting documentation to CSA for consideration by the Committee on Academic Standing.
Petition Deadlines:
For final papers or other course work due at the end of the term: Thursday, December 11, 2008
For final exams: No later than a day before the final examination for which students are requesting the incomplete.
Upon receipt of all forms and supporting documentation, the Committee on Academic Standing will meet to review the petition.
Students will be informed of the decision via email. Students who are granted an Incomplete are assigned a deadline for completion of the overdue work, or a date on which a deferred exam must be taken. The deferred exam dates for Fall 2008 are Friday, January 23, 2009 and Monday, January 26, 2009.
Please contact your Advising Dean with any questions.

Fall 2008 Final Exam Schedule
Final Exams are Friday, Dec 12 - Friday, Dec 19
Your Final Exam Schedule is available through SSOL under the “My Exam Schedule” link on your “Student Schedule” page.
**NOTE: You must confirm these dates/times with your instructors. You are strongly advised not to make any travel arrangements/purchases until you have confirmed when your last final exam will be held. Faculty will not offer alternate exam dates for students who book flights that conflict with the final exam. No exceptions.
Thursday, December 4, 2008
Final Exams Overlaps & Conflicts
Students who have two exams at the same time or more than two exams on the same calendar day (not just a twenty-four hour period) as certified by the Registrar, may request an arrangement be made with one of their instructors to take that exam at another mutually available time during the final examination period.
The student should inform the instructors about the situation and inquire if any of them are willing to allow their exam to be taken at an alternate time. Students unable to make suitable arrangements on their own may then contact their Advising Dean to request assistance.
If a professor/instructor needs verification that a student has more than two exams on the same calendar day or two exams at the same time, students should print out their schedule via SSOL as proof, or contact your Advising Dean to verify conflicts via e-mail to the instructor.
Please remember that exams will NOT be rescheduled to accommodate travel plans.
The filing DEADLINE for MAY DEGREE APPLICATIONS has been EXTENDED to WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10th
Application forms may be picked up in the lobby of 210 Kent or printed from the Registrar's website at:

COURSE EVALUATIONS
As the last day of classes approaches, please be sure to complete anonymous evaluations of all the courses you have taken this semester. This information is important to all instructors, as they continue to develop and refine all elements of their courses. The evaluation tool is easy to use and accessible through each CourseWorks site of all the courses for which you are registered - https://courseworks.columbia.edu/. Evaluations must be submitted by Thursday, December 11.
This year, there are two improvements to the system:
- Students need complete only the "Instructor Effectiveness", "General", and course-specific questions in order to submit the evaluation. As a result, each evaluation can take as little as 2 minutes to complete.
- Instructors can email a reminder to those students who have not submitted an evaluation WITHOUT access to their names.

New MA in Latin American and Caribbean Studies
We are pleased to announce that Columbia University’s new Master of Arts in Regional Studies: Latin America and the Caribbean (MARSLAC) is now accepting applications for Fall 2009.
MARSLAC is a unique interdisciplinary program that provides a broad social science-based approach to modern and contemporary Latin America and the Caribbean. The curriculum features a year-long seminar in which students develop the methodological tools to conduct research on key issues, such as inequality, justice, democratic transitions, and the integration of the region in the global economy. Students fulfill their remaining requirements by taking courses in different disciplines throughout Columbia University
MARSLAC students deepen their knowledge of the political, economic, social and cultural processes shaping Latin America and the Caribbean, and emerge with the expertise to be leaders in a variety of fields, including government, non-profits, the private sector, and academia.
MARSLAC is housed at the Institute of Latin American Studies, the center for research, teaching and discussion on Latin America at Columbia University. Students benefit from the Institute’s associations with New York City’s financial, diplomatic, corporate, cultural and educational centers, including our partnership with the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at New York University, with which we form the New York City Consortium for Latin American Studies.

SPRING 2009 COURSE: INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTATIONAL MATH AND PHYSICS APAM E1601
INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTATIONAL MATH AND PHYSICS
Wednesdays 6:50-9:20pm
Professor Mike Mauel (mem4@columbia.edu)
Call number: 17002
Website: http://www.apam.columbia.edu/courses/ap1601y
Introduction to computational methods in applied mathematics and physics: Students develop solutions in a small number of subject areas to acquire a first taste in the practical use of computers in solving mathematics and physics problems.
APAM1601 does not require prior programming experience (but prior computer experience and talent are helpful.) Topics change from year-to-year, and only a limited number of topics (typically four per term) are selected for discussion and investigation. Topics range from classical and modern physics and applied mathematics, but the course is not meant to cover these areas broadly. Instead, each topic will be self-contained and limited in scope. We try to make topics interesting and absorbing, and they will amplify and expand on a student's knowledge acquired during your first year of physics and mathematics course work.
The goal of this course is to provide some depth in select topics instead of providing a general (but shallow) overview of an entire subject area.
Examples include elementary interpolation of functions, solution of nonlinear algebraic equations, curve-fitting and hypothesis testing, wave propagation, fluid motion, gravitational and celestial mechanics, chaotic dynamics. (APAM1601 is usually taught by a team of two professors, an applied physicist and an applied mathematician.)
SPRING 2009 COURSE: PHYSICS OF THE HUMAN BODY
Spring 2009
APPH E1300: Physics of the Human Body
Call Number 62148

TR 2:40 pm - 3:55 pm
Prerequisites: Physics “I”, Calculus “I”;
Corequisites: Physics “II”, Calculus “II”
Instructor: Professor Irving P. Herman (iph1@columbia.edu)
This course analyzes the human body from the basic principles of physics.
Principles derived in first-year physics are applied directly or after modest extension.
In each case a simple model of the body organ, property, or function is devised and then applied, sometimes using introductory calculus. This course is targeted for prospective and current pre-med and biomedical engineering majors, as well as prospective applied physics and other majors. It is a SEAS professional-level course. Given the level of the treatment, it is suitable for first and second year undergraduates, as well as for upper classpeople in SEAS, CC, and Barnard.
Alice! Wants to hear your opinion – the topic is drinks.
The Alice! Health Promotion Program, part of Health Services at Columbia, wants to hear your opinion – the topic is drinks.
Columbia and Columbia Affiliate students are invited to participate in focus groups on the drinking culture at Columbia.

Undergraduate Business Courses Offered This Spring
The following undergraduate business courses will be offered for the spring term.
BUSI W3013 – Financial Accounting
Prof. Alan Brott
TR 9:10-10:25am
Uris 141
Call Number: 17950
Points: 3
The purpose of this course is to enable you to become an informed user of financial information. To be properly informed you need to understand the language of accounting and financial reporting. We will focus on the three major financial statements – the balance sheet, the income statement and the statement of cash flows - that companies prepare for use of management and external parties. We will examine the underlying concepts that go into the preparation of these financial statements as well as specific accounting rules that apply when preparing financial statements. As we gain an understanding of the financial information, we will look at approaches to analyze the financial strength and operations of an entity. We will use actual financial statements to understand how financial information is presented and to apply analysis techniques. The course coverage and design is consistent with that of an MBA financial accounting course.
BUSI W3021 – Marketing Management
Prof. Leonard Lee
Mondays 9:00am-12:00noon
Uris 141
Call Number: 72099
Points: 3
This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the fundamental marketing concepts and their application by business and non-business organizations. The goal is to expose the students to these concepts as they are used in a wide variety of settings, including consumer goods firms, manufacturing and service industries, and small and large businesses. The course will give you an overview of marketing strategy issues, elements of a market – company, customers, and competition, as well as the fundamental elements of the marketing mix – product, price, placement (distribution) and promotion. The course highlights both theory and applications. Extensive use of cases and exercises presents you with a challenging and real-world environment in which to apply and hone your decision-making skills.
