and Wednesday, March 16, 2016.
- The final examination is on Wednesday, May 4, 2016 from
4.30pm to 7pm

(Check that this agrees with your other sources of information!)
Bring your CU student ID to all of your tests.
- Homework
- Homework is due at the beginning of class.
Some, but not all of the problems will be graded. Justify all your answers.
Your homework score will be based on the best 10 of 14 assignments. You should
assume that late work will not be graded.
- Students With Disabilities
- If you qualify for accommodations because of a disability, please submit to
your professor a letter from Disability Services in a timely manner (for
exam accommodations provide your letter at least one week prior to the exam)
so that your needs can be addressed. Disability Services determines
accommodations based on documented disabilities. Contact Disability Services
at 303-492-8671 or by e-mail at dsinfo [AT] colorado.edu.
- If you have a temporary
medical condition or injury, see Temporary Medical Conditions: Injuries,
Surgeries, and Illnesses guidelines under Quick Links at Disability Services
website and discuss your needs with your professor.
- Missed Exams
- If you know that you are going to miss an exam or cannot take the final
exam at the scheduled time, please notify your instructor at least two weeks
in advance. If you miss a midterm exam for any acceptable reason (e.g.
religious obligation, documented illness), that midterm exam score will be
replaced by your other midterm exam score. If you miss both midterm exams for
acceptable reasons, each midterm score will be replaced by your final
exam score. If you miss the final exam (unless it is for an acceptable
reason), you will score zero on the final and you should expect to fail the
course.
- Religious Obligations
- Campus policy regarding religious observances requires that faculty
make every
effort to deal reasonably and fairly with all students who, because of
religious obligations, have conflicts with scheduled exams, assignments or
required attendance. In this class, you should notify your professor of
any conflict at least two weeks in advance.
See campus policy regarding religious observances
for full details.
- Student Classroom and Course-Related Behavior
- Students and faculty each have responsibility for maintaining an
appropriate
learning environment. Those who fail to adhere to such behavioral standards may
be subject to discipline. Professional courtesy and sensitivity are especially
important with respect to individuals and topics dealing with differences of
race, color, culture, religion, creed, politics, veteran's status, sexual
orientation, gender, gender identity and gender expression, age, disability,
and nationalities. Class rosters are provided to the instructor with the
student's legal name. I will gladly honor your request to address you by an
alternate name or gender pronoun. Please advise me of this preference early in
the semester so that I may make appropriate changes to my records.
Please, no open yawning or sleeping in class!
For more information, see the policies on
classroom behavior.
