Homework:
Homework will be assigned weekly, and is due at the beginning of class, usually on Mondays. Some, but not all of the problems will be graded. Show all your work.
Students With Disabilities:
If you qualify for accommodations because of a disability, please submit a letter to me from Disability Services in a timely manner so that your needs may be addressed. Disability Services determines accommodations based on documented disabilities. Contact: 303-492-8671, Willard 322, or www.Colorado.EDU/disabilityservices
Disability Services' letters for students with disabilities indicate legally-mandated, reasonable accommodations. The syllabus statements and answers to Frequently Asked Questions can be found at www.colorado.edu/disabilityservices/accommodations.html
Missed Exams:
If you are absent from an exam without a valid excuse, you will receive a grade of "F" for that exam. Examples of valid excuses are: documented illness (doctor's letter required), religious observance, serious family emergency. Leaving early for or coming back late from an out-of-town trip is not considered a valid excuse for being absent from an exam.
Religious Obligations:
Campus policy regarding religious observances requires that faculty make every effort to reasonably and fairly deal with all students who, because of religious obligations, have conflicts with scheduled exams, assignments or required attendance. In this class, if you have a religious obligation that conflicts with one of the exams, please let your instructor know at least two weeks in advance. See policy details at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/fac_relig.html
Student Classroom and Course-Related Behavior:
Students and faculty each have responsibility for maintaining an appropriate learning environment. Students who fail to adhere to such behavioral standards may be subject to discipline. Faculty have the professional responsibility to treat all students with understanding, dignity and respect, to guide classroom discussion and to set reasonable limits on the manner in which they and their students express opinions. Professional courtesy and sensitivity are especially important with respect to individuals and topics dealing with differences of race, culture, religion, politics, sexual orientation, gender, gender variance, and nationalities. Class rosters are provided to the instructor with the student's legal name. I will gladly honor your request to address you by an alternate name or gender pronoun. Please advise me of this preference early in the semester so that I may make appropriate changes to my records. See policies at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/classbehavior.html and at http://www.colorado.edu/studentaffairs/judicialaffairs/code.html#student_code
Honor Code:

Violations of this policy may include: cheating, plagiarism, aid of academic dishonesty, fabrication, lying, bribery, and threatening behavior.
