Academic integrity and class policies:
The highest levels of academic integrity, as detailed in the Pennbook, must be upheld in all activities related to this course. Students are encouraged to discuss homework problems with each other, but are required to write their solutions independently. The university-wide policies and procedures that are in effect regarding academic integrity, attendance, student conduct, secular and religious holidays, students with disabilities, etc are clearly stated in the Pennbook, and will be followed strictly. Absence from an exam will result in a zero grade for that exam, except in extraordinarily unusual circumstances, with both a valid written excuse and instructor approval. Any requests for grade revision must be submitted in writing.
