Homework Policy


Grades

The course grade will be based upon the scores on the midterm exam, homework, and the final exam as follows:

Webwork 25 points
Written homework 25 points
Preliminary Exam 70 points
Midterm Exam 120 points
Final Exam 160 points
Total 400 points

If you have a conflict with one of the midterm exams because of a religious observance, scheduled extracurricular activity such as a game or performance [not practice], scheduled laboratory for another course, or similar commitment, please see your instructor as soon as possible. If you must miss a class, it is your responsibility to submit all homework on time, and to arrange to get notes from a classmate.


The Honor Principle

Dartmouth's Academic Honor Principle and Academic integrity are at the core of our mission as mathematicians and educators, and we take it very seriously. We also believe in working and learning together.

Collaboration on homework and group study is permitted and encouraged. You may work with classmates, friends, tutors, and your instructor. You can even use the the web and/or generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to assist you. However, it is a violation of the honor code to simply copy answers. In particular, by turning in any work, you are asserting that the words are yours, and that you understand what you have written. Furthermore, it is important to keep in mind that you will be on your own on exams so that you will eventually have to work problems without any assistance.

On written homework, you are encouraged to work together, and you may get help from others, but you must write up the answers yourself. If you are part of a group of students that produces an answer to a problem, you cannot then copy that group answer. You must write up the answer individually, in your own words.

On WeBWorK assignments, you are also encouraged to work together. However you must personally log in to your own account and enter your answers yourself.

On exams, you may not give or receive help from anyone or anything including the internet. Exams in this course are closed book, and no notes, calculators or other electronic devices are permitted.


Tutorials and Additonal Help

Tutorial assistance for this course and help with your homework will be available on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays 7-9pm in Kemeny 008.

Other assistance is available from the Academic Skills Center. This includes advice on study strategies and access to tutors. For further information, see their flier or their web site: dartgo.org/acc.

We will use a computer algebra system called Mathematica in some of our lecture demos. While it is definitely not required, Mathematica and Wolfram|Alpha Pro are available at no charge to Dartmouth students. They are useful for: (a) solving problems, (b) obtaining step-by-step solutions, and (c) writing code with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence. (AI chat is built in.) To get access, go to wolfram.com/siteinfo and enter your Dartmouth email. Learn how to use Mathematica at wolfram.com/wolfram-u/.


Special Considerations

Students requesting disability-related accommodations and services for this course are required to register with Student Accessibility Services ( SAS; Apply for Services webpage; student.accessibility.services@dartmouth.edu; 1-603-646-9900) and to request that an accommodation email be sent to their instructor in advance of the need for an accommodation. Then, students should schedule a follow-up meeting with their instructor to determine relevant details such as what role SAS or its Testing Center may play in accommodation implementation. This process works best for everyone when completed as early in the quarter as possible. If students have questions about whether they are eligible for accommodations or have concerns about the implementation of their accommodations, they should contact the SAS office. All inquiries and discussions will remain confidential.

Religous Observances

Dartmouth has a deep commitment to support students’ religious observances and diverse faith practices. 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 me as soon as possible—before the end of the second week of the term at the latest—to discuss appropriate course adjustments.
