Syllabus
Course description:
Axiomatic systems for, and selected topics from, Euclidean geometry, projective geometry, and other non-Euclidean geometries. Special attention will be given to the needs of the individuals preparing to teach at the secondary level.

Course learning outcomes:
• To abstractly tackle mathematical concepts from an axiomatic viewpoint.
• To understand the foundations of Euclidean Geometry.
• To use theorems and definitions to construct geometric proofs.
• To be able to present a geometry proof orally and in writing.
• To differentiate facts from Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries.

Class meets MWF 1:10-2:00 in PACCAR 103. In accordance with Gonzaga's attendance policy you should not miss more than 6 meetings of this course.

We will be using the book Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometries, Fourth Edition by Marvin Jay Greenberg.

Grades will be assigned based on the following:
Homework40%
Projects20%
Midterm Exam20%
Final20%

• Homework will be assigned approximately once a week and will be due on Wednesdays. Homework assignments will be announced in class and subsequently posted on this webpage. Late homework will be accepted for up to 50% credit for up to one week after the due date.

• Projects will be assigned twice over the course of the semester. Details will be given later in the semester. The first project will be due in October. The second project will be due in November.

• Midterm Exam are tentatively scheduled for Friday, October 12. 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.

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, NON - DISCRIMINATION AND SEXUAL MISCONDUCT:
Consistent with its mission, Gonzaga seeks to assure that all community members learn and work in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Title VII, Title IX and Gonzaga's policy prohibit gender-based harassment, discrimination and sexual misconduct. Gonzaga encourages anyone experiencing gender-based harassment, discrimination or sexual misconduct to talk to someone from the Campus and Local Resources list found in the Gonzaga's Harassment and Non-Discrimination Policy.

It may be helpful to talk about what happened in order to get the support needed and for Gonzaga to respond appropriately. There are options for support and resolution, namely confidential support resources, and campus reporting and support options available. Gonzaga will respond to all reports of sexual misconduct in order to stop the harassment, discrimination, or misconduct; prevent its reoccurrence; and address its effects. Responses may vary from support service referrals to formal investigations.

As a faculty member, I want to get you connected to the resources here on campus specially trained in and experienced in assisting in such complaints, and therefore I will report all incidents of gender-based harassment, discrimination and sexual misconduct to Title IX. A representative from that office will reach out to you via phone and/or email to explore options for support, safety measures and reporting. I will provide our Title IX Director with all relevant details, including names and identifying information, of the information reported. For more information about policies and resources or reporting options, please visit the following websites: Equity and Inclusion and Title IX. If you would like to make a report of harassment, discrimination or sexual misconduct directly, you may:

* Contact the Title IX Director by phone, email, or in person Stephanie N. Whaley, Title IX Director 509-313-6910 whaley@gonzaga.edu Business Services Building, 018
* Or complete an online form: Sexual Misconduct Report Form

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 for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability/medical condition requiring an accommodation, please call or visit the Disability Access Office (second floor of Foley Center Library, Room 208.)

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.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
All members of the Gonzaga community are expected to adhere to principles of honesty and integrity in their academic endeavors, and I will abide strictly by procedures and guidelines of the University's Academic Integrity Policy. Students and faculty are governed by this policy, and I encourage you to familiarize yourself with its scope and procedures. Ignorance of the policy will not serve as a defense against any violations.

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.
