Homework:

Homework will be assigned regularly. Your homework solutions should be organized and neat with

solutions in the order according to which problems were assigned. I will penalize homework that is not

clearly legible and out of order. Late homework will not be graded.

I will collect homework one week after the end of each chapter. Generally speaking, I will cover each

chapter in two weeks, and then the due day would be the next Friday.

Behavior that disrupts the classroom learning environment will not be tolerated. Such behavior includes

talking during class, use of cellular phones or other electronic devices during class, and violent or abusive

behavior or speech. Students exhibiting such behavior will be removed from the class, and/or be

withdrawn from the course with a grade of WF.

Academic honesty:

You are permitted and, in fact, encouragedto talk to other students, or me about homework. I may give

you clues or discuss similar problems without doing your homework for you. However, you may not

present other peoples work as your own. If you work with other students solving problems, make surethat you write up your own solution independently. It is not acceptable for one student to write a

solution for another student to copy.

You must work independently during exams. You may not share calculators or pass notes during theexams.

Students with Disabilities:

Students with disabilities needing academic accommodation should: (1) register with and provide

documentation to the Office of Disability Services; (2) bring a letter to the instructor indicating the need

for accommodation and what type. This should be done during the first week of class.
