The Honor Principle and Other Considerations

The Academic Honor Principle:

Academic integrity is 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 is permitted and encouraged, but it is a violation of the honor code for someone to provide the answers for you. 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 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.

Other Considerations:

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.

Students who need academic adjustments or alternate accommodations 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 Suite 125, 646-9900, Student.Accessibility.Services@Dartmouth.edu). 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 confedential.
