The purpose of the homework is to help you understand concepts and to help you prepare for the examinations. Experience has shown that students who do little homework or who rely on others for their homework answers tend to do very poorly in this class. Because of budget situations and class size only a portion of the homework will be graded. There is an e-mail group for this course. If you have questions or comments, feel free to use it.
Messages go to all persons in the class and to the instructor.
If you need special accommodations in order to meet any of the requirements of this course, please contact me as soon as possible. Students will be allowed to complete examinations or other requirements that are missed because of a religious observance. The university has a responsibility to promote academic honesty and integrity and to develop procedures to deal effectively with instances of academic dishonesty. Students are responsible for the honest completion and representation of their work, for the appropriate citation of sources, and for respect of others' academic endeavors. If the complaint allegedly violates a specific university policy, it may be directed to the head of the department or academic unit in which the complaint occurred or to the appropriate university office responsible for enforcing the policy.
