H1N1 and Other Serious Illness


Typically we will not accept late homework, and missed quizzes and exams cannot be made up.  However, should you contract H1N1 or another serious illness, please contact your professor.  We will be happy to make arrangements for you to make up late work, quizzes, and exams under these circumstances.  Please do not come to class if you have H1N1 or an influenza-like illness; your professor will be happy to tell you what you've missed.  For more information on what to do if you believe you have H1N1 or the flu, see the Dartmouth website.

Honor Principle


Homework: Students are encouraged to work together to do homework problems. What is most important is a student's eventual understanding of homework problems, and not how that is achieved. The honor principle applies to homework in the following way. What a student turns in as a homework solution is to be his or her own understanding of how to do the problem. Students must state what sources they have consulted, with whom they have collaborated, and from whom they have received help. The solutions you submit must be written by you alone. Any copying (electronic or otherwise) of another person's solutions, in whole or in part, is a violation of the Honor Code.

Exams: Students may not receive assistance of any kind from any source (living, published, electronic, etc), except the professor, and may not give assistance to anyone. Matters of clarification are to be left to the professor. You are on your honor not to talk to another student about an exam until both students have turned in their exams.

Disabilities, Religious Observances, Etc.

We encourage any students with disabilities, including "invisible" disabilities such as chronic diseases and learning disabilities, to discuss appropriate accommodations with me, which might help you with this class, either after class or during office hours. Dartmouth College has an active program to help students with disabilities, and we are happy to do whatever we can to help out, as appropriate. Any student with a documented disability requiring academic adjustments or accommodations is requested to speak with us by the end of the second week of the term. All discussions will remain confidential, although the Academic Skills Center may be consulted to verify the documentation of the disability and advise on an appropriate response to the need. It is important, however, that you talk to us soon, so that we can make whatever arrangements might be needed in a timely fashion.
Some students may wish to take part in religious observances that occur during this academic term. If you have a religious observance that conflicts with your participation in the course, please meet with us before the end of the second week of the term to discuss appropriate accommodations.
