Grades:
Accommodation Statement: In accordance with University Policy 2310 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), academic accommodations may be made for any student who notifies the instructor of the need for an accommodation. Accessibility Resources Center (Mesa Vista Hall 2021, 277-3506) provides academic support to students who have disabilities. If you think you need alternative accessible formats for undertaking and completing coursework, you should contact this service right away to assure your needs are met in a timely manner.
Homework: Homework is due every Thursday at the beginning of the class in MS Teams. I encourage you to work on the homework with your classmates, but you are required to write up your own solutions in your own words. To help the grader, please write your solutions neatly using correct grammar and mathematical notation (no points will be given for work that the reader cannot follow). The ten best homework grades will be used in computing the homework score. Please do not turn-in late homework! The syllabus also lists recommended homework problems. These are NOT to be handed in. Work as many as it takes for you to understand the material. You should see me as early and as often as necessary if you are having difficulties with the homework problems .
