Grading policy:
Disabilities:
Students who require special examination conditions must register with the office of the Disabled Students Services (DSS) in Shoemaker Hall. Documentation must be provided and discussed with me in person within the first week of classes. Proper forms must be filled out and provided before every exam.
Academic Integrity:
All work that you submit must be your own. You are welcomed to discuss the material with each other in a general way, but you have to submit your own solutions. Any marked similarity (form, notation) between submissions of different authors or resemblance to master solutions on the internet will be regarded as evidence of academic dishonesty and you will not receive points for such submissions. If you use references, you must cite them and clearly mark quotations. Such citation will not lower your grade as long as you do not do it excessively.
