Attendance


We expect that you will attend class every day. Though it is not officially a part of the course grade, missing class could adversely affect your grade by impacting your performance on quizzes and homework. If you know that you are going to miss class, you should let your instructor know beforehand (email is okay).

Honor Principle

Exams and Quizzes: All exams and quizzes are closed book, with no notes or calculators allowed. No help will be given or received.

Homework: You are welcome to discuss your homework with your classmates, the instructors, and your tutors, but the final result should be your own work. Collaboration is encouraged, but you should write your solutions. Calculators and other computing devices are also allowed, but remember that they will be unavailable on the exams and quizzes.

Disabilities, Religious Observances, Etc.

Students with disabilities enrolled in this course and who may need disability-related classroom accommodations are encouraged to make an appointment to see your instructor before the end of the second week of the term. All discussions will remain confidential, although the Student Accessibility Services office may be consulted to discuss appropriate implementation of any accommodation requested.

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 your instructor before the end of the second week of the term to discuss appropriate accommodations.
