If prior arrangements are not made, a grade reduction will result. In addition, the professor is required to refer any students suspected of cheating or plagiarizing to the Dean of Student Affairs. This class will use the group format in addition to traditional presentation of homework solutions. In addition, I encourage you to form study groups outside the classroom for the purpose of discussion. Class attendance is an important component of this course.
Students learn from one another as well as from the professor.
Promptness is also important because late arrivals are disruptive to the class as a whole. Communication is key. If you need adaptations or accommodations because of a documented disability, please make an appointment during my office hours. The following outline is subject to revision at the professor's discretion.
