Tutorial
Our graduate teaching assistants, Lizzie Buchanan and Melanie Ferreri will run tutorials Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday at 7 - 9 pm in Kemeny 105, focusing on answering your questions on the homework and class material. For maximal benefit, we strongly recommend that you try all the homework problems ahead of time and come with your questions to the tutorial. Tutorials are open to all Math 22 students. Past students have found these tutorials immensely helpful!
The Honor Principle
Academic integrity is at the core of our mission as mathematicians and educators, and we take
it very seriously.
Cooperation on homework is permitted and encouraged, but you must write up your homework in your own words, reflecting your own understanding. Please
acknowledge any collaborators at the beginning of each assignment.
On exams, you may not give or receive help from anyone. Exams in this course are closed book, and no
notes, calculators or other electronic devices are permitted.
Further information can be found here: Honor Principle.
Religious Observances
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.
A calendar of religious holidays can be found here: Religious holidays.
Disabilities
Students with disabilities who may need disability-related academic adjustments and services for this course are encouraged to see their instructor privately as early in the term as possible. Students requiring disability-related academic adjustments and services must consult the Student Accessibility Services office (Carson Hall, Suite 125, 646-9900). Once SAS has authorized services, students must show the originally signed SAS Services and Consent Form and/or a letter on SAS letterhead to their professor. As a first step, if students have questions about whether they qualify to receive academic adjustments and services, they should contact the SAS office. All inquiries and discussions will remain confidential.
