Syllabus for Math 2575, Accelerated Calculus III

Yes.

I’ll do my best to be accommodating of any illness that interrupts your studies. There is no need to provide details of the illness. If you miss a week or more of work, please get in touch to make a plan for catching up. One of the biggest challenges in math is that once you fall behind, it’s difficult to catch up on your own.

If you’re staying home to avoid spreading illness to others (thank you!), but well enough to attend class, I’ll try to provide you with a video link via Teams or Zoom.

In short, that any work you represent as your own, is your own. Much of your work can be done in groups, but not all of it. I will assume that you have access to a calculator, including online tools that give you step-by-step solutions.

Use of these tools is acceptable, but take care that you are not overly reliant on them. What is not acceptable is having someone else do your work for you. This includes tutors, classmates, friends, family members, and online “homework help” sites. If you submit work that somebody else did for you, you are committing an academic offence.

Penalties for academic dishonesty are outlined in the Academic Calendar

. Depending on the severity of the offence, penalties for a first offence can range from a grade of zero on an assessment, to an F in the courses. Academic offences are also reported to the Dean of Arts & Sciences. They keep a record of each offence, and students with multiple offences can be subject to supplementary discipline.

No. This wastes health care resources and your time. Just email me to say you were sick, and spare me the details. However, if you miss more than one test due to illness, we’ll need to meet to discuss how to adjust your grade.

First, make sure that you have registered with the University’s Accessible Learning Centre

. No need to let me know: they notify me of every student with accommodations.

If there are any adjustments I can make to facilitate your learning, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. All students deserve an equal opportunity to learn. Note that the HTML textbook is designed with accessibility in mind, and should work with screen readers.

Send me an email, and I’ll help you out as best I can. Book an appointment with me as soon as you feel like you’re falling behind and I’ll do my best to get you up to speed.
