The Honor Principle

Homework: You must cite other books or online sources if you use them to help solve a problem. If you enjoy working in groups, I encourage you to work with others in the class to solve the homework problems, but all homework is to be written up independently.

Exams: You may neither give nor receive help. Written notes, calculators, and computers are not permitted.

Disabilities

Students with learning, physical, or psychiatric disabilities enrolled in this course that may need disability-related classroom accommodations are encouraged to make an office 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.

Religious Observations

If you have a religious observance that conflicts with your participation in the course, please come speak with your instructor as soon as possible to discuss appropriate accommodations.
