Academic Honesty

Students are responsible for adhering to the UCI Academic Honesty standards. I encourage students to discuss problems in broad, conceptual terms and to work and study together. However, any work turned in must be your own. Material that is copied from any source needs to be quoted and the source must be cited. If you plagiarize, you run the severe risk of failing the class, in a most disgraceful manner. For further information, see http://honesty.uci.edu/

Disabilities

If you need an accommodation because of a disability, please contact the instructor and the Disability Services Center as soon as possible.
