Homework
Homework will be assigned regularly and will be due in class at the beginning of class on the due date.
Since I do not allow late homework to be turned in, there is no "late homework policy."
Honor Code
In keeping with the principles of the BYU Honor Code, students are expected to be honest in all of their academic work.
Academic honesty means, most fundamentally, that any work you present as your own must in fact be your own work and not that of another.
Violations of this principle may result in a failing grade in the course and additional disciplinary action by the university.
Students are also expected to adhere to the Dress and Grooming Standards.
Adherence demonstrates respect for yourself and others and ensures an effective learning and working environment.
It is the university's expectation, and my own expectation in class, that each student will abide by all Honor Code standards.
Please call the Honor Code Office at 422-2847 if you have questions about those standards.
Preventing Sexual Harassment
Sexual discrimination or harassment (including student-to-student harassment) is prohibited both by the law and by Brigham Young University policy. If you feel you are being subjected to sexual discrimination or harassment, please bring your concerns to the professor. Alternatively, you may lodge a complaint with the Equal Employment Office (D-240C ASB) or with the Honor Code Office (4440).
Students With Disabilities
If you have a disability that may affect your performance in this course, you should get in touch with the office of Services for Students with Disabilities (1520 WSC). This office can evaluate your disability and assist the professor in arranging for reasonable accommodations.
