Americans with Disabilities Act: Calvin College will make reasonable accommodations for persons with documented disabilities. Students should notify the Coordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities located in Student Academic Services. Students should also notify me during the first two weeks of class.

Academic Integrity Statement: In general, you may discuss homework problems with other students, but the written solutions you submit must be you own work and not simply a copy of another student's work. There may be special problems assigned for which no collaboration with others is allowed. It will be made clear if collaboration is not allowed on an assigned problem. Of course, cheating on tests or the final exam is not allowed. Cheating includes the use of unauthorized notes or devices, copying from another student, or consciously allowing another student to copy from your work. Details of Calvin's policy on academic integrity can be found in the College's Student Conduct Code.
