Homework:  Homework will be assigned on a regular basis.  Homework will not count towards your grade, but it is critical that you do all of the homework problems.  You can submit your homework to me if you would like feedback on your work.

Academic Dishonesty:  You are encouraged to work with others in the class.  However, I expect the work you turn in to be your own efforts.  Instances of academic dishonesty will be dealt with according to the regulations of Anoka-Ramsey Community College.

Class Conduct:  You are expected to be courteous towards the instructor and your classmates.  Lecture begins at 9:00am.  You are expected to be on time for lecture.  Cell phones should be turned off during lecture.  You should not talk to your classmates while I am talking or while one of your classmates is asking a question.  If you have a question about the course material, ask me and I will be more than happy to answer your question.
