Calendar (Fall Semester)
Remarks:
1. Quizzes will be based on recent class discussion
as well as recent homework. Each quiz will last 10-15 minutes.
The lowest two of the ten quiz grades will be dropped. There will
be no make-up quizzes.
2. The duration of each test is approximately 50 minutes.
Make-up tests will be given only for non-frivolous reasons.
3. The first project (group or individual) will be due
on Oct. 17. The second project will be due on Nov. 30.
4. Homework will be accepted late, but with a substantial
penalty.
5. The minimum penalty for cheating
is failure in the course. A student who improperly aids another with a
homework assignment, a test, the final exam, or with a Maple lab or project
is considered to be equally culpable. If you receive help on an assignment
from anyone other than the instructor (this includes another student, a
TA, a family member, or friend), you should acknowledge this fact in a
comment at the beginning of your homework, lab, or project. Incidents
of academic dishonesty will be reported to the appropriate Dean.
The goal of intellectual education is not to know
how to repeat or retain ready-made truths (a truth that is parroted is
only a half-truth). It is in learning to master the truth by oneself at
the risk of losing a lot of time and of going through all the round about
ways that are inherent in real activity.
