Equal Opportunity Statement

The Mathematics Department is committed to equal opportunity in education for all students, including those with documented physical disabilities or documented learning disabilities. University policy states that it is the responsibility of students with documented disabilities to contact instructors during the first week of each semester to discuss appropriate accommodations to ensure equity in grading, classroom experiences and outside assignments.

Academic Conduct

Bring your student identification to all exams. Work independently on all exams and quizzes. Behaviors inappropriate to test taking may disturb other students and will be considered cheating. Don't talk or pass notes with other students during a quiz or exam. Homework may be discussed freely.

When taking a quiz or exam in the classroom don't read notes or books. When taking a quiz or exam in the computer lab feel free to use the computers, your calculator, notes and textbooks. You may also use online resources such as Wikipedia, Google and Wolfram Alpha; however, do not use email or any other messaging service. If you are unclear as to what constitutes cheating, please consult with me.
