Honor Principle


You are allowed to work with other students on the homework problems, but you must write up your solutions independently and in your own words. You may consult other people or sources other than the course text, your class notes, and the instructor, but you must acknowledge these people and/or sources when you write up your homework. All exams are closed book, with no notes or calculators allowed. No help will be given or received.

Disabilities, Religious Observances, Etc.

Students with disabilities enrolled in this course and who may need disability-related classroom accommodations are encouraged to make an 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.

Some students may wish to take part in religious observances that occur during this academic term. If you have a religious observance that conflicts with your participation in the course, please meet with your instructor before the end of the second week of the term to discuss appropriate accommodations.
