Homework Policy

• Homework will be assigned daily and will be due at the beginning of the next class meeting.
• All homework assignments will be handed out in class and posted via the web. More details are posted on the course assignment's web page.
• Late homework will not be accepted in the absense of divine intervention or matters of similar weight.
• Unexcused late and missing papers count zero.
• The homework will be graded on both completion and accuracy; however, as we will be starting most problem sets in class and working on them collaboratively, the main thing I will be looking for is that you can explain and justify the solutions.

Grades

The course grade will be based upon in-class participation and the scores on the quizzes, the homework, and the final exam as follows:

Participation	40 points
Quizzes	80 points
Homework	200 points
Final Exam	80 points
Total	400 points

The Honor Principle

On Quizzes and Exams: No help given or received

On Homework: Collaboration on homework is permitted and encouraged, but obviously it is a violation of the honor code for someone to provide the answers for you. Each student is required to write up their homework individually and list who they collaborated with. It is expected that each student will collaborate with every other member of the class at least once.

Disabilities

Students with learning, physical, or psychiatric disabilities enrolled in this course who may need disability-related classroom accommodations are encouraged to make an appointment to see me 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. At such a meeting please provide me with a copy of a completed "Accommodations/Consent" form, which lists the accommodations recommended for the student by Student Accessibility Services (http://www.dartmouth.edu/~accessibility/). If you do not have such a form, please visit the Student Accessibility Services office at Collis 301.
