You may collaborate on the homework problems, but you must write your own solutions. If you have questions about the homework, it is best to ask during my office hours.

Grading: Homework & Quizzes - 100 points (20%), Midterm 1 - 75 points (15%), Midterm 2 - 75 points (15%), Midterm 3 - 75 points (15%), Final Exam - 175 points (35%). In order for you to succeed in this course make sure you read the textbook, do the homework assignments, listen to the lecture, attend your discussion section, and ask questions if there is anything you don't understand.
Academic integrity: Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated! Cheating on the exams will result in an "F" grade for the entire semester. Cheating includes bringing notes into exams, glancing at neighbors exams and copying the homework of a fellow student. Any appearance of cheating will be reported to the Dean of Students office. Students will be responsible for the policy of University of Minnesota concerning academic honesty.
Class conduct: Students are responsible for everything that is announced or discussed in class. You are expected to attend all lectures. Students who miss lectures will find it very difficult to succeed on the examinations. Late arrivals or early departures are disruptive and distracting and should be avoided. Please refrain from talking during class; it is disruptive to your fellow students and to me.
