(Chapters 3, 4). Exam dates will be confirmed at least two weeks prior to the exam. Make-ups must be confirmed with your
Professor at least 24 hours prior to the exam.

Students with Disabilities
Appropriate accommodations can be made for students with a documented disability. Please notify me and make arrangements with
the DREAM office (Foley 209, or ext. 4134)
Academic Integrity
While collaboration and good use of resources are important for the learning process, you are expected to complete all your
work on your own. You may talk with other people about how to solve homework problems, but your write-up should be done individually.
Quizzes and tests are strictly your own work and any evidence of sources outside your own brain will be considered cheating.
Sharing your work inappropriately with another student is also considered cheating.
Any cases of cheating will be dealt with seriously. You will be asked to meet with me and the math department chair. Severe cases may result in failure of the course
and will be reported to the Dean.
Please refer to the student handbook for a description of the University's Academic Honesty policy.
