The Honor Principle

On Exams: No help given or received

On Homework: Collaboration on homework is permitted and encouraged. Common decency, and the honor code, oblige you to cite help received or other sources used; for example, "I found this solution on Terry Tao's web site."

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 224 Baker to register for support services.
