The Honor Principle
Academic integrity is at the core of our mission as mathematicians and educators, and we take it very seriously.

On exams, you may not give or receive help from anyone. Exams in this course are closed book. Calculators are permitted.
Tutorial
The TAs for Math 10, Alex Wilson and Ben Adenbaum will run tutorials. Tutorials focus on homework assignments. What happens during these tutorials depends on the questions that you bring. You can aks for explanation about the concepts, or, more commonly, ask for help with specific practice problems. Tutorials are open to all Math 10 students. You don't need an appointment.
