Lectures: You are very STRONGly encouraged to attend lectures. It will be far simplier for you to understand the material from the lectures rather than the book alone. Raise your hand if you have questions regarding the material. Respect the rest of the class while lectures are going on. This means that keep talking among each other to the minimum, turn off your cellphone, pager, etc while you are in lectures. If you have to take your phone call, please do so outside the class room. Also try to be on time. It is easy really, treat other people like you want to be treated.

Resourses: The Q-Center offers peer tutoring services at the main center in the CUE Building as well as some of the Dorm Communities. Please avail yourself of their services – they are there to help!

Homework: Homework will be collected in the beginning of lecture. Two lowest homework scores will be dropped. No late homework will be accepted. Homework will be graded by a reader and will be handed back in lecture. Note that working together is OK, BUT you must write up your own answers. Copying an assignment is an academic integrity violation. I will be using Vista/WebCT for grading.

    Academic Integrity: (From the UConn Policy on Academic Misconduct) A fundamental tenet of all educational institutions is academic honesty; academic work depends upon respect for and acknowledgment of the work and ideas of others. Misrepresenting someone else's work as one's own is a serious offense in any academic setting and it will not be condoned.

    Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, providing or receiving assistance in a manner not authorized by the instructor in the creation of work to be submitted for academic evaluation (e.g. papers, projects, examinations and assessments - whether online or in class); presenting, as one's own, the ideas, words or calculations of another for academic evaluation; doing unauthorized academic work for which another person will receive credit or be evaluated; using unauthorized aids in preparing work for evaluation (e.g. unauthorized formula sheets, unauthorized calculators, unauthorized programs or formulas loaded into your calculator, etc.); and presenting the same or substantially the same papers or projects in two or more courses without the explicit permission of the instructors involved.

    A student who knowingly assists another student in committing an act of academic misconduct shall be equally accountable for the violation, and shall be subject to the sanctions and other remedies described in The Student Code. Sanctions shall include, but are not limited to, a letter sent to the Dean of Students of the University; a grade of 0 on the assignment, quiz or exam; a grade of F for the course.
