The University has an Academic Integrity Policy and Student Conduct Code (see CSU General
Catalog) which is enforced in Math369. With respect to Math369, a reasonable amount of discussion
regarding homework is allowed. However, you should NOT simply be copying homework from a
classmate. With respect to any quiz or exam, the Honor’s Pledge is specifically: “‘I will not give,
receive, or use any unathorized assistance.” Students judged to have engaged in cheating on a
particular quiz or exam will receive a score of 0 for the particular quiz or exam. If you are found to
have cheated on one or more quiz or exam during the semester, there will not be a Repeat/Delete
option for the course grade.
Grade Split:
• Quizzes: - 30%. There will be twelve grades recorded. The content will be dependent on
assigned problems up to the day of the quiz.
• Midterm Exams - 40%. There will be in-class exams on Wednesday, Week 5 and
Wednesday, Week 10 of classes. Each will count 20%.
• Final Exam - 30%. For date and time see the CSU web page

Makeup exams are allowed only for sponsored university activities, documented illness, or death in
immediate family. I must be informed of a university sponsored activity at least two weeks before
it occurs. Similarly, proof of illness must be provided on letter headed paper with the date and
time specified. If you have a passing grade and cannot take the final exam for one of these reasons
then they will receive an incomplete and must make arrangements with me to take the exam the
first week of the following spring semester.
