Homework will be assigned regularly and will be due each Monday. Your homework should be written on standard sized paper, should have all "frilly edges" removed, should be stapled if it is more than one page, and should be clearly labeled with your name and the section and problem numbers on the assignment. Late homework will be accepted up to one week past the deadline for up to half credit. Late homework will be graded only an completion.
• Quizzes
In addition to homework we will have in class quizzes approximately once per week. The timing of these will vary depending on exams and scheduled holidays. They will be problems similar to or in some cases identical to homework problems and are intended as check points to help you determine your preparedness for exams.

Finals The final for section 02 will be held Wednesday, May 10 8:00-10:00 am. This follows the University's official finals schedule. This will be a cumulative exam.

Missed exams You may only make up exams with permission of your Professor. In most cases it will be expected that you inform your Professor and schedule a make up exam before the regularly scheduled exam. In the event of an emergency, notify your Professor as soon as possible to arrange for a make up exam.

Calculators will not be allowed on any quizzes or tests.

Additional Help
Please take advantage of the math department's free tutoring center in Herak 224. Check the schedule for times and tutor schedules. You are also encouraged to come to office hours regularly and ask questions after class.

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.

A NOTE ON HARASSMENT, DISCRIMINATION AND SEXUAL MISCONDUCT:

Consistent with its mission, Gonzaga seeks to assure all community members learn and work in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Title VII, Title IX and Gonzaga's policy prohibit harassment, discrimination and sexual misconduct. Gonzaga encourages anyone experiencing harassment, discrimination or sexual misconduct to talk to someone from the Campus and Local Resources list found in the Student Code of Conduct Website: http://www.gonzaga.edu/Student-Life/Community-Standards/Student-Code-of-Conduct.asp about what happened so they can get the support they need and Gonzaga can respond appropriately. There are both confidential and non-confidential resources and reporting options available to you. Gonzaga is legally obligated to respond to reports of sexual misconduct, and therefore we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of a report, unless made to a confidential resource. Responses may vary from support services to formal investigations. As a faculty member, I am required to report incidents of sexual misconduct and thus cannot guarantee confidentiality. I must provide our Title IX coordinator with relevant details such as the names of those involved in the incident. For more information about policies and resources or reporting options, please visit the following websites: www.gonzaga.edu/eo and www.gonzaga.edu/titleix.

NOTICE TO STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES/MEDICAL CONDITIONS:

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides reasonable accommodation for their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability/medical condition requiring an accommodation, please call or visit the Disability Access office (room 209 Foley Library, 509-313-4134).

CLASS ATTENDANCE:

I follow strictly the university's standard policy on absences: the maximum allowable absence is two class hours (100 minutes) for each class credit. For a three-credit class meeting three times a week, the maximum number of absences allowed is six. For a three-credit class meeting twice a week, the maximum number of absences allowed is four. The grade for excessive absences is "V", which has the same effect as "F" (Fail) and is counted in the GPA. (See also "Class Attendance Policy" on page 68 of the University's online catalogue: http://www.gonzaga.edu/catalogues/PDF-archive/2014-2015UGCatalogue.pdf)

ACADEMIC HONESTY:

Academic honesty is expected of all Gonzaga University students. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, and theft. Any student found guilty of academic dishonesty is subject to disciplinary action, which may include, but is not limited to, (1) a failing grade for the test or assignment in question, (2) a failing grade for the course, or (3) a recommendation for dismissal from the University. (See also "Academic Honesty" on page 67 of the University's online catalogue: http://www.gonzaga.edu/catalogues/PDF-archive/2014-2015UGCatalogue.pdf )

COURSE EVALUATION:

At Gonzaga, we take teaching seriously, and we ask our students to evaluate their courses and instructors so that we can provide the best possible learning experience. In that spirit, we ask students to give us feedback on their classroom experience near the end of the semester. I will ask you to take a few minutes then to carry out course/instructor evaluation on-line. Please know that I appreciate your participation in this process. This is a vital part of our efforts at Gonzaga to improve continually our teaching, our academic programs, and our entire educational effort.
