Homework, Workshop activities, and Testing policies
 Absolutely no late homework will be accepted. The homework will be assigned weekly from the
textbook, and will be due each Thursday, unless otherwise specified. Only selected problems will be graded
(each set will be worth 15 points). Homework will be usually returned during the following Tuesday.
 Throughout the semester there will be group activities, where you will be required to work in a team on
specific problems and present some of them to the class. Your grade for the workshops will be determined
based on your performance in the group as well as your oral presentation of problems.
 Absolutely no late exams will be allowed. If you know in advance that you must miss an exam you
are required to make arrangements with me several days prior to the exam and take it early in the Disability
Services and Testing Center. Students must email or stop by to make an appointment to take those exams.

Additional Assistance
If you are a student with a disability and believe you will need accommodations for this class, it is your
responsibility to register with Disability Services and provide them with documentation of your disability. They
will work with you to determine what accommodations are appropriate for your situation. To avoid any delay,
you should contact Disability Services as soon as possible. Please note that accommodations are not retroactive
and disability accommodations cannot be provided until a Faculty Letter has been given to me. Please contact
Disability Services at Main Hall room 105, 719-255-3354 or dservice@uccs.edu.

Other Resources
The Math Learning Center, 2nd floor ENGR building, is available to all math students free of charge and w/o
reservation. This is an excellent opportunity to seek alternative explanations of concepts, get expert help with
homework, or just meet with your fellow students for a group study session. The hours for the center are:
MTuWeTh (8am-7pm), F (8am-4:30pm), Su (11am-3pm)

Peer Assisted Study Session
A Peer Assisted Study Session (PASS) component is provided in this course for all students who want to
improve their understanding of the material. PASS sessions are led by a student who has already mastered the
course material and has been trained to facilitate group sessions where students can meet to compare class
notes, review and discuss important concepts, develop strategies for studying, and prepare for exams.
Attendance at PASS sessions is free and voluntary. Students may attend as many times as they choose. PASS
sessions begin the first or second week of class and continue throughout the semester. A session schedule will
be announced in class.

Note on Academic Honesty
Academic honesty is fundamental to the activities and principles of a university. All members of the academic
community must be confident that each person's work has been responsibly and honorably acquired, developed,
and presented. Any effort to gain an advantage not given to all students is dishonest whether or not the effort is
successful. The academic community regards academic dishonesty as an extremely serious matter, with serious
consequences that range from probation to expulsion.
