Attendance

Attendance is very important in this class.
The official attendance policy of the university states: Students are expected to attend classes regularly. A student who incurs an excessive number of absences may be withdrawn from a class at the discretion of the professor http://www.bulletin.uga.edu/Bulletin_Files/acad/general_Link.html . We interpret "excessive" to mean four or more unexcused absences.

Collaboration and Academic Honesty

You are strongly encouraged to form study groups to work on your homework. However you must write up your own homework. Cheating in exams are zero tolerated and will be reported to the university.
 

As a University of Georgia student, you have agreed to abide by the University's academic honesty policy, "A Culture of Honesty," and the Student Honor Code. All academic work must meet the standards described in "A Culture of Honesty" found at: www.uga.edu/honesty. Lack of knowledge of the academic honesty policy is not a reasonable explanation for a violation. Questions related to course assignments and the academic honesty policy should be directed to the instructor.
