Grading System & Tests: Your grade will be based on three exams given in class, homework, attendance, quizzes and the (cummulative) final exam. The relative weights of the exams, etc., are given below.

Letter Grade: Your letter grade for the semester will be A, B, C, or D, for averages of minimum 90%, 80%, 70%, or 60%, respectively.

Attendance:

Attendance is required and rolls may be taken. Please come to the class on time and do not leave early.

Homework: Late homework loses five points per class meeting (unless accompanied by a university approved excuse in writing). Assignments will be posted on the homework page : http://www.math.tamu.edu/~daripa/courses/m311/hw-sp12.html

Make-up Policy: I will give make-ups (or satisfactory equivalents) only in cases authorized under TAMU Regulations.

Bluebooks and Scantrons:

I need two 8 sheet bluebooks (11" by 8.5") from everyone before the first exam, preferably by the endof first week of classes. Do not write your name on these. I will hand these out for use during the exams.

Cheating

I take this very seriously, and will prosecute any case that I think I can prove. Scholastic dishonesty procedures will be rigorously enforced.

Identification:

You must have your ID with you at all exams and quizzes.

Disabilities:

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact the Department of Student Life, Services for Students with Disabilities, in Room 126 of the Koldus Building or call 845-1637.

Aggie Honor Code: "An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do."

Copyright Laws etc.

All printed and web materials are protected by copyright laws.
The handouts used in this course are copyrighted. By "handouts", I mean all materials generated for this class which include but are not limited to syllabi, quizzes, exams, lab problems, in-class materials, review sheets, and additional problem sets. Because these materials are copyrighted, you do not have the right to copy the handouts, unless I expressly grant permission.
As commonly defined, plagiarism consists of passing off as one's own ideas, words, writings, etc., which belong to another. In accordance with this definition, you are committing plagiarism if you copy the work of another person and turn it as your own even if you should have the permission of that person. Plagiarism is one of the worst academic sins, for the plagiarist destroys the trust among colleagues without which research can not be safely communicated.
If you have any questions regarding plagiarism, please consult issue of the Texas A&M University Student Rules, under section "Scholastic Dishonesty".
