Honesty Policy

Let's keep this simple and clear:

Copying Homework:First incident: Warning, Second Incident: Failure.
Cheating on Exam:Failure and possible expulsion from the University.

Homework Policy

I will not usually grade all the problems from each assignment. I'll choose some roughly at random (no, I'm not going to tell you ahead of time which ones). I assign relatively few problems so you can bet I expect you to do them all. If homework is late, but you told me ahead of time then (assuming it's not a common occurrence) I will usually give full credit. If you don't tell me ahead of time then it goes on the "late pile" and I make no promises as to what happens after that. While it's better to turn in homework late than never, don't expect late homework to be graded.

Homework Rules

  1. Write up your homework as if creating a report for your boss. Your homework write-up is your study and reference tool. You should be able to re-learn how to solve the problem based your your clear write-up.
  2. Draw and label any relevant picture or graph. Sometimes half the battle is getting a clear picture of the problem at hand.
  3. Show all relevant steps. Nothings says: "I know what I'm doing" quite like judiciously including all the relevant steps in solving a problem. Knowing what to include and what to safely exclude is the mark of the competent. It's a joy to grade those assignments. And yes, they get an 'A'.

Make-up Policy

Make-up exams, as with late homework, are through prior arrangement only and even then at the instructors discretion.

Attendance Policy

This is not a tele-course and attendance is both required and assumed. It's up to you, but be aware that students in the past that have simply studied on their own have been rudely surprised by the exams. Don't let this unpleasantness be your story.

Cell Phones, Pages, PDA's and Other Nuisances

It is in your interest that you and your fellow students create an environment free from unnecessary distraction. Please take your urgent and most fascinating conversation outside.

Special Needs

If you have a special need requiring academic accommodations, please notify me to make appropriate arrangements. Be sure you are registered with the DRC (Disability Resource Center (503) 725-4240) so that you can take advantage of the available assistance.
