Grade Division

Assignments will be distributed via hyperlinks shown in the syllabus.  These links will be activated just prior to class on the days listed in the syllabus.  It is the student's responsibility to download the assignment, print it, and solve the problems.  The assignments are open book, but are to be solved without any personal assistance from other individuals.  An honor code is implicit with each assignment.  Academic dishonesty will be dealt with harshly by the instructor and escalated to the department, college, and/or university, if necessary.

Finally, grades are non-negotiable (i.e., "binding") at 5pm one week after they are returned.
