The Honor Principle


Tutorials

Tutorial assistance for this course, that is, help with your homework, will be available in 101 Bradley Hall on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday evening, 7-9PM. Tutorials will begin on Tuesday, January 6.

Also note that the Tutor Clearinghouse will have private one-on-one tutors available for Math 3. 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.
