General Advice:
It is critical to attend all classes and not to fall behind. If you experience any difficulty, please see me or go to the tutoring room for help as soon as possible. You should make every effort to complete all homework in a timely fashion. It is your responsibility to catch up with missed lectures. You are responsible for the announcements made in clas, which may include changes to the syllabus.
Academic Integrity:
You are supposed to work on the homework or course related materials at least 6 hours per week after class. Students may work in groups on the homework, but your solutions must be your own. If there is clear evidence that a student has committed fraud to advance his/her academic status (e.g. cheating on an exam or quiz), your instructor will report to the Office of the Dean of Students, and the relevant exams or quizzes will receive 0 score.
Disability Policy:
Please address any special needs or special accommodations with me at the beginning of the semester or as soon as you become aware of your needs. Those seeking accommodations based on disabilities should obtain forms from the Disability Services (DS) located in room 115 of Johnson Hall (225-578-5919).
