Homework: Homework will
                be assigned about once a week. The due date is every Monday
        at the beginning of the class. Homework must be
          turned in promptly to receive credit. For submitted problems,
          students are expected to show work and justify their answers.
          Please write your name on the first page. If you are
          submitting multiple pages, please staple them together. The eight highest
                  homework scores will contribute to 30% of your final
                  grade.
              
Exams: A midterm is
                tentatively scheduled during
                  class time on Monday,
                  October 14. The final
                  exam is
                scheduled on Monday,
                  November 18
                    at 2:00pm – 3:50pm in our
              usual classroom. Makeup exams will only be offered in
            the event of extreme circumstances. If you think you have a
            problem which will force you to miss an exam, come talk to
            me as soon as possible.
          
Help: Additional
                  handouts will be distributed throughout the quarter.
                Students are also encouraged to ask for individualized
                help from the instructor or the TA at any time.
              
Students with
                Disabilities: If you qualify for academic accommodations
                because of a disability or medical issue, please submit
                a faculty letter to me from Disability Services Program
                (DSP) in a timely manner so that your needs may be
                addressed. DSP determines accommodations based on
                documented disabilities/medical issues. DSP is located
                on the 4th floor of Ruffatto Hall, 1999 E Evans Ave,
                303-871-2278. Information is also available online at http://www.du.edu/disability/dsp;
                see the Handbook
                  for Students with Disabilities.
              
Religious Accommodations:
                University policy grants students excused absences from
                class or other organized activities for observance of
                religious holy days, unless the accommodation would
                create an undue hardship. Faculty are asked to be
                responsive to requests when students contact them in
                  advance to
                request such an excused absence. Students are
                responsible for completing assignments given during
                their absence, but should be given an opportunity to
                make up work missed because of religious observance.
                Once a student has registered for a class, the student
                is expected to examine the course syllabus for potential
                conflicts with holy days and to notify the instructor by
                the end of the first week of classes of any conflicts
                that may require an absence (including any required
                additional preparation/travel time). The student is also
                expected to remind the faculty member in advance of the
                missed class, and to make arrangements in advance (with
                the faculty member) to make up any missed work or
                in-class material within a reasonable amount of time.
              
Note: Homework assignments on this
        page are subject to change. The website is always the most
        accurate source for assignments, so if you print out a copy of
        this page early, check the web each week to make sure the
        problems have not been changed. Your teacher will also call
        attention to it whenever any change
        is made.
      
Work the following homework problems at the appropriate time.
