Tentative Schedule (last update 3/15/2022)
Linear Algebra and its Applications (5ed). David Lay
This is the fifth edition, which is not the newest, so hopefully defrays some cost.
Attendance: You are expected to attend class. Your daily participation in group (and whole-class) discussions and in problem presentations is part of your grade in the course.
If you need to miss class for some extenuating circumstance, or due to a university-sponsored activity (such as athletics), please contact me ASAP. I cannot help you mitigate contingencies retroactively, but we can proactively work together if needed.
Late Work: All due dates in Canvas are 11:59PM Eastern Time on the day the work is due. Generally speaking, late homework and quizzes are not accepted for credit since they are designed to help you keep pace with current topics in the course.
If you find you need an extension on some assignment, you may submit the following Google Form.
No late work will be accepted without submission of the Google Form for that assignment.
WARNING: Work later than three days may not be graded/returned to you in a reasonable time frame to incorporate feedback for future assignments. In some instances, it may not be graded/returned at all until the end of the semester.
At Wake Forest, we expect you to behave as honorable citizens of the class, the university, and the world as a whole. When you complete an assignment with your name on it, you are representing that everything you are turning in is your own work. That means that you do not copy from other students, textbooks, or websites. The honor code is a token of our respect for you as members of the academic community. When one person cheats, it diminishes the experiences of everyone else in the program, both faculty members and students. Please, respect yourselves, each other, and your professors, and turn in only your own personal work. If at any time we become aware of cheating or plagiarism in this course, we will submit the information to the honor council. The format of any future assignments may also be affected, for the entire class.
An important thing to remember regarding academic integrity as a whole: if you bomb an assignment or test, even if you make a zero, you can still make a good grade in the course. If you cheat on an assignment or test to make a good grade on that one assignment, you may fail the course, or worse.
