Look! The answer keys are there!

Welcome to the first day of classes! I will list assignments with due dates as well as links for any handouts. Answer keys will become available after the assignment is due. It is your responsibility to do the homework by yourself to prepare you for the tests. Although AI will give you the answers, it does NOT prepare you to take a test. Be proud of the work you do and of your accomplishments. 

It is more honorable to fail than to cheat.

There are unintended outcomes of artificial virtue. Don't let AI undermine your virtue, morality, critical thinking skills, and trust.

If you are absent, you can print homework documents from the homework blog or you can pick up copies by the lava lamp in the classroom! Missing homework is YOUR responsibility to pick up and turn in.
