CALCULATORS:

Use of a graphing calculator will be an integral part of the course. A TI-83, 84, 86 or 89 would be a good choice. There are many good graphical calculators but if you need someone to show you how to use yours then you will probably find TI calculators a good choice.

Students with disabilities who require accommodations for access and participation in this course must be registered with the Office of Disability Services (ODS). Please contact ODS at (312) 413-2103.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:

Students are expected to be thoroughly familiar with the University's policy on academic integrity. See page 62 of the 2007-2009 Undergraduate Catalog. The University has instituted serious penalties for academic dishonesty. We have encouraged you to work with your classmates on homework. Regarding homework, quizzes, hour exams, and the final examination: Copying work to be submitted for grade, or allowing your work to be submitted for grade to be copied, is considered academic dishonesty.
