Remarks:
∙ Check our website regularly
for the latest announcements regarding course material, homework assignments,
etc.
∙ All students are
responsible for the full work of the course. This includes knowing the
material, taking tests, doing the homework, knowing the dates when tests are
held and any announcement that may be made in class.
∙ Calculators will be allowed
on exams, including those capable of symbolic algebra. However, most problems
require you to show each step and thus NO credit will be given unless
you show all work by hand.
∙ Students should bring and
display their UIC ID cards during exams. (Academic dishonesty: Cheating on
exams typically results in disciplinary procedures, up to expulsion from the
university).
