Attendance Policy: Learning mathematics is greatly enhanced through active participation in mathematical discussions and small group activities. To fully take advantage of these modes of learning, it is essential that you attend class. You will be expected to attend and be on time for each class meeting. A student who misses a class meeting will be held responsible for the material covered and any assignments or announcements that were given.

Computer Use Policy: This classroom is equipped with computers for student use. During a class period computer usage is restricted to students enrolled in the course. In addition, use of the computer by enrolled students is limited to activities related to current class discussions and found appropriate by the instructor. Inappropriate computer use during class by a student can be distracting to other students; such use is prohibited during class. Inappropriate activities include playing computer games, reading e-mail, chatting, surfing the web, working assignments for other courses, or any other activity which distracts the student, or other students, from the work of the course. The instructor may exact penalties for inappropriate computer use during class.

Academic Honesty: The rules set forth in the 2003-2004 Course of Study apply to all aspects of this course. In general, any work submitted for credit must result directly from your own understanding, thoughts, and ideas. Presenting the work of others as your own is strictly prohibited. In the case of homework you may collaborate with others in discussing how a problem may be solved, but the final submitted solution should be worked independently. Assistance may neither be given nor received (other than from the instructor) on any quiz or exam associated with this course, except where explicitly allowed by the instructor. In the case of a group assignment, full collaboration on all aspects of the assignment is required of group members. Each member of a group will be held equally responsible for work submitted.

Disabilities: If you have a physical, psychological, medical or learning disability that may impact your ability to carry out assigned course work, I urge you to contact the Office of Disability Services at 5453. The Coordinator of Disability Services, Erin Salva (salvae@kenyon.edu), will review your concerns and, with your input, determine what accommodations are appropriate. All information and documentation of disability is confidential. It is Ms. Salva who has the authority and the expertise to decide on the accommodations that are proper for your disability. Though I am happy to help you in any way that I can, I cannot make any accommodations without prior authorization from Ms. Salva.
