Homework Policy

* Details are posted on the course assignments web page.

* Late homework will not be accepted.

* Unexcused late and missing papers count zero.

The homework scores not only count count towards your final grade and allow you to practice and refine your skills but, historically, those students who do the homework sets regularly fair better on the exams.

Grades

The course grade will be based upon the scores on the two midterm exams, the final exam, and the homework.

The Honor Principle

On Exams: No help given or received

On Homework: Collaboration is permitted and encouraged, but NO COPYING. On the other hand discussions of the general ideas of the problems is desirable.

Tutorials

Tutorial assistance for this course, that is, help with your homework, will be available in Room 101 Gilman Hall, Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday evening, 7 - 9 pm.

Also note that the Tutor Clearinghouse will have private one-on-one tutors available for Math 8. The tutors are recruited on the basis that they have done well in the subject, and are trained by the Academic Skills Center. If a student receives financial aid, the College will pay for three hours of tutoring per week. If you would like to have a tutor, please go to 301 Collis and fill out an application as early in the term as possible.

Disabilities

Students with disabilities who will be taking this course and may need disability-related classroom accommodations are encouraged to make an appointment to see their instructor as soon as possible. Also, they should stop by the Academic Skills Center in Collis Center to register for support services.
