Textbook: There is no required textbook for this class.  
Homework Policy: To be determined.  You may expect weekly homework assignments.

In-class Presentation: You will research a mathematical question of your choosing and present the topic in a presentation during a non-colloquium class session.

Grading Scheme: Your grade will be based on attendance and participation in the class sessions and colloquia.

• Attendance and participation: 75%
• In-class presentation: 25%

You are expected to attend each class session and each colloquium, even if these occur during free hour.  I understand that outside factors may affect your attendance, and as such you are allowed to miss one colloquium/class session with no detriment to your grade.  If you miss more than one class session, you will lose one letter grade for each additional class missed. You are also expected to participate in colloquia and class sessions.  See each link for more details.

Cheating/Plagiarism:
DON'T DO IT! Copying homework solutions from other classmates is considered cheating. Copying text from web pages or references without citing these references is considered plagiarism.  I take cheating and plagiarism very seriously. If you cheat, you will receive a zero for the homework/presentation and I will report you to the academic integrity committee in the Office of Student Affairs. If you cheat twice, you will receive a zero for the class. If you want to discuss what constitutes plagiarism, I am happy to discuss it with you at any time.  Please do realize that working together on homework as described above is not cheating.
