Please be aware of our Departmental Academic Integrity Policy.

Students are expected to maintain the highest level of academic integrity. You should be familiar with the university policy on academic integrity. Violations will be reported and enforced according to this policy.

Use of external website resources such as Chegg.com or others to obtain solutions to homework assignments, quizzes, or exams is cheating and a violation of the University Academic Integrity policy. Cheating in the course may result in grade penalties, disciplinary sanctions or educational sanctions. Posting homework assignments, or exams, to external sites without the instructor's permission may be a violation of copyright and may constitute the facilitation of dishonesty, which may result in the same penalties as plain cheating.

Students will need to acknowledge the Rutgers Honor Pledge on every major exam assignment as follows:
On my honor, I have neither received nor given any unauthorized assistance on this examination/assignment.


ROUGH COURSE OUTLINE
ASSESSMENT and EVALUATION
There will be frequent homework, and several quizzes/small exams.
