As such, the syllabus represents the current best estimate for the class and may change very slightly as the term progresses. This is for the benefit of those students who are using the first edition text. I do not require you to read the entire chapter if I give you page numbers for the reading. As with any academic endeavor it is important that you do your own work. This note is the only warning on the subject that will be issued.
Second offenses result in failing the course.
Cheating on any of the exams will always result in failing the course. Please note - partial credit will be given, even if a program doesn't work. Moreover, given the number of assignments in the class, a poor grade on one or two will not kill anyone's grade. Given this, copying someone else's work is never worth the risk. Please don't do it.
