You are expected to attend class regularly. If you miss a class for any reason, you are responsible for all material covered, announcements made in your absence, and acquiring materials that may have been distributed in class.

 

MISSED EXAMS:

You will have one opportunity to make up a test one day before or after the schedule, however, you must provide sufficiently documental reason for me why you have to miss the test at least three days before the schedule.

CALCULATORS:

A graphics calculator is useful as a study and learning tool when used appropriately. However, calculus is a collection of ideas which are not mastered through calculator skills only. Note that no calculator is allowed on all tests.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:

Academic integrity is the pursuit of scholarly activity in an open, honest and responsible manner. Academic integrity is a basic guiding principle for all academic activity at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and all members of the University community are expected to act in accordance with this principle. Consistent with this expectation, the University's Code of Conduct states that all students should act with personal integrity, respect other students' dignity, rights and property, and help create and maintain an environment in which all can succeed through the fruits of their efforts.

Academic integrity includes a commitment not to engage in or tolerate acts of falsification, misrepresentation or deception. Such acts of dishonesty violate the fundamental ethical principles of the University community and compromise the worth of work completed by others. Based on the University's Student Academic Misconduct Policy, a range of academic sanctions may be taken against a student who engages in academic dishonesty.
