Homework:

Homework will be due each after class. Since we are covering a full semester’s worth of material in three weeks, doing the homework everyday is the best way to keep up and learn the material. Feel free to work together on homework assignments and ask me questions during office hours.

Disability support:

Any student with a documented disability needing academic adjustments or accommodations is requested to speak with me during the first two weeks of class. All discussions will remain confidential. Students with disabilities should also contact Disability Support Services in the Ley Student Center.
