Weekly problem sets consist of approximately 3 questions and are posted
in Portable Document Format (PDF) on the course website. Solutions will
be collected using Crowdmark software. The best 10 of 12 problem sets
will determine your homework grade.
Examination
A short oral exam, likely conducted using some video chat software, will
be scheduled with each student. A longer and more comprehensive written
exam will assigned at the end of the course; it will be distributed and
collected like a homework assignement.
Written Work
We write to communicate. Please bear this in mind as you complete
homework, projects, and exams. Work must be neat and legible to
receive consideration. You must explain your work in order to
obtain full credit; an assertion is not an answer.
Academic Integrity
Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with all of the
regulations concerning academic integrity and for ensuring that their
assignments and their behaviour conform to the principles of academic
integrity. Students are welcome to discuss problems, but should write up
the solutions individually. Students must explicitly acknowledge any
assistance including books, software, technology, websites, students,
friends, professors, references, etc.
Accommodations
The instructor is committed to achieving full accessibility for people
with disabilities. Part of this commitment includes arranging academic
accommodations for students with disabilities to ensure they have an
equitable opportunity to participate in all of their academic
activities. If you are a student with a disability and think you may
need academic accommodations, then you are strongly encouraged to
contact both the instructor and the
Queenʼs Student Accessibility Services (QSAS) as
early as possible.
Licensing
Materials generated by the instructor of this course may not be used
commercially. Others may remixed, adapted, and build upon, as long
as they credit me and license their new creation under the idential terms.
