Late papers will not be graded, and neatness counts;
if the grader can't read your paper, you get no credit.
In calculating the homework component of your final grade, your lowest
three scores will be disregarded.
If you cannot turn in an assignment in person, you can place your
homework in the clearly marked boxes outside the classroom before
the class meeting at which it is due. Graded homework will be returned
in
class as promptly as possible; if you are not there to
receive it in person, you
can retrieve your graded homework from the same boxes mentioned above.

Final grades will be assigned according to whichever of the following
schemes gives the best grade:

The Honor Principle:
On Exams: No books or notes will be allowed, and students must not
give or receive help from others during the exam.
Calculators, including graphing calculators, are not required for this
course, but their use is allowed on exams.
Students with
calculators capable of symbolic manipulation or storing formulae or
notes are expected not to use these features during the exam.
Doing so will constitute a violation of the Honor Code.
On Homework: You are expected and encouraged to work together on
homework assignments.
However, you must write up your solutions by yourself and without outside
assistance.
Disabilities:
Students with disabilities --- including chronic diseases, learning
disabilities, and psychiatric disabilities --- who will be taking this
course and may need appropriate accommodations are encouraged to make an
appointment to see me as soon as possible.
These students should also stop by the
Academic Skills Center
in Collis Center to register for support services.
The Academic Skills Center also offers workshops and academic
counseling to all students with problems involving study skills.
