You should explore each problem
and write out your
thinking in a way that can be shared with others.
Be sure to give acknowledgment where it is due. If you are copying something
out of a book, refer to the source and page number in your write-up.
Submitting someone else's work as your own (PLAGIARISM) is a serious
violation of the University's
Academic Integrity Code.
Each student is responsible for doing his or her own Maple and by-hand
work.
You may discuss the problems among yourselves as you work, but
you must type in each command yourself and you must answer
questions in your own words.
Your Maple and by-hand formatting, explanations,
and text comments need to be presented in your own unique style
in order to distinguish your work
as your own.
It is your responsibility to ensure that I do not suspect you of cheating.
You must demonstrate skill at by-hand calculations for simple
problems and skill at using technology for (perhaps more complicated)
problems.
Deficiency in any of these areas will result in reduction of final grade.
Electronic devices such as cell phones are not permitted in class.
Asking questions, and explaining things to others, in or out of class,
is one of the best ways to improve your understanding of the material.
This course is to be an environment in which everyone
feels comfortable asking questions,
making mistakes, offering good guesses and ideas, and is respectful to
one another.
I encourage you to talk to me often in class, office hours,
and the bulletin board.
