Honor Code          The core values of the University of Texas at Austin are learning, discovery, freedom, leadership, individual opportunity, and responsibility. Each member of the University is expected to uphold these values through integrity, honesty, trust, fairness, and respect toward peers and community.

Exam Dates
                 February 12, April 2

Final Exam Date              Wednesday, May 13             9:00-12:00 noon            
There will be two in-class exams during the semester and a cumulative in-class final exam.

Homework
Homework will be posted on the course website and announced in class. Homework assignments will be collected weekly. Students are encouraged to discuss all aspects of the course with each other. However, each student should write their own solutions to homework problems. Copying another student's solution or that from another text is a violation of the honor code and fails to contribute to your personal mathematical development.
 
Class Participation
This course will be taught with the modified Moore method. Students will have opportunities to present their solutions to homework problems during class meetings. The other classmates are required to ask questions and make certain they understand what has been presented. The presenter has the first opportunity to address any questions or comments, and then other classmates are encouraged to contribute. Class attendance is mandatory.
