There is a lab component for this course. It is also important to attend
the labs. Part of the lab grade will be based on attendance.

Homework problems from the text will be assigned
on a regular basis. These are for your benefit. They will help
prepare you for quizzes and tests. For these problems, you may work
with others. These may also be discussed in class if there are questions.
Occasionally textbook problems or other homework such as small computer
assignments may be collected for a grade. All assignments to be collected
for a grade should be done independently.
Cases of academic dishonesty will be reported to the
Office of Student Affairs and will go on file. Please read the campus
policy.
All written turn-in assignments must be completed in pencil or typed from the computer. NO INK PLEASE! All solutions must be accompanied by clearly written interpretations and conclusions in complete sentences.

Diversity and inclusion are core values of Salisbury University. A diverse
and inclusive campus community brings irreplaceable value to our educational
experience and work environment, and strengthens us all. Diversity encompasses
more dimensions than just the legally protected categories. All people have
talent and potential that is spread across communities and groups, locally and
globally. Inclusion means creating an environment of respect, connection and
involvement among people with different experiences and perspectives. We strive
to create a truly diverse and inclusive environment where the richness of ideas,
backgrounds, and perspectives of our community is harnessed to create value for
our institution, today and in the future.
