Academic
Honesty:
Cheating will not be tolerated and can result in failure of the course. Exams are to be strictly your own effort. No electronic devices are allowed in written exams.

General:

Any student who may need an accommodation due to a disability, please make an appointment to see me during my office hours. A letter from a Montana Tech Disability Coordinator authorizing your accommodations is needed.

I prefer that the class is interactive, so if you have questions or comments, please interrupt. If you have a question, chances are very good that others have the same question. And if I don't explain a concept clearly, stop me and I'll try again.

Please silence cell phones during class and leave them put away.
