Exam conflicts
You must take the midterms and
finals at the times and rooms assigned for your section. If
you are unable to do so for University approved events or
issues the following policies apply:
Schedule Conflicts
If you have another course (for
example a laboratory) that is scheduled at the same time as
the midterms and cannot be rescheduled, you can sit
alternative midterms on the same days at 4.05pm or at 7pm.
To do so you must inform your section teacher at least 10
days before the exam.
University approved events/Illnesses
Makeup exams
beyond the two alternative midterm times will be only
granted for conflict with university events (such as band
practice) or events beyond your control that cannot be
rescheduled. You must submit the
Alternate Makeup Exam Request
form to your section teacher at least 10
days before the exam.
Disabilities
If a disability prevents you from
taking the exam in the normal settings you must register
with RDS for alternative testing arrangements.
RDS will provide you with a form which you must hand in to
your section teacher at least two weeks before first test
to which it applies. As RDS is closed in the evening
include a sheet that states which times on the Friday
morning following the exam you would be able to take the
exam. Your section teacher will get the form signed by the
course coordinator and return it to you to take to RDS.
You then take the exam at the time indicated on the sheet
at RDS which will send your completed exam back to the
mathematics department.
Overrides / Changing Sections
Overrides into full sections will only be given
on the first Wednesday of classes and only by the mathematics front office. Neither instructors, nor the course coordinator, will give overrides. There are no exceptions.
If you need to take math 161 now to avoid delaying your studies (other override reasons will be given lower priority), and are unable to register because all sections you could take are full, you must go in person on that Wednesday (before 4pm) to the mathematics front office to apply for an override.
You may attend class in your desired section for the first week of classes, even if you are waiting for an override. Once you have been given an override, you must attend the section for which you were given an override, even if it is not at your preferred time.
The same policy applies to section changes.
Academic Honesty
By handing in homework, lab
reports and exams you certify that this is your own work.
(We encourage you to
discuss homework
solution strategies and laboratory write-ups with fellow
students but the final write-up must be your own. For
example it is fine to get help that a certain integral can
be solved with a particular substitution, it is not OK to
simply copy the details of the substitution from a sheet
someone else wrote. If in doubt ask your lecturer or write
down the extent the material handed in is other persons
work) The University policies on academic honesty,
which can be found here, is enforced in this course. Misrepresenting someone else's work as your own (plagiarism) and possessing unauthorized reference information in any form that could be helpful while taking an exam are examples of cheating. Submitting work from a Solutions Manual or an on-line homework web site as your own are examples of plagiarism. Students judged to have engaged in cheating may be assigned a reduced or failing grade for the assignment or the course and may be referred to the Office of Conflict Resolution & Student Conduct Services for additional disciplinary action.
Late or Missed Homework
Homework is due as
announced in class. Written homework is due at the start of
class. WebWorK homework is due at 8pm on the day listed
(there is a grace period until midnight on the server, we
claim 8pm to avoid issues with time drift or network
errors).
No late homework will be accepted. There is a buffer in counting homework points to take care of a limited number of missed homework.
In case of a long term illness, please contact the course coordinator.
