S/U option:
If you elect to be graded under the S/U option, you must declare your intention when registering for the course. All work in the class will be graded in a manner identical to that for students choosing the letter grade option. At the end of the semester, your final letter grade in the course will be used to assign either an S or an U. You must achieve a minimum grade of C in order to receive a grade of S.
Academic Conduct:
The guidelines for academic conduct are stated in the University catalogs. Any violations of the code will result in a grade of F for the course, in addition to any further sanctions imposed by the university. Unless explicitly stated by the professor, you are assumed to perform the assigned work by yourself, without any external collaboration. Note that a person copying an assignment is guilty of a violation of academic conduct, as is the person from whom the assignment was copied.
Disclaimer:
The information in this syllabus is provided on a good faith basis. If in my judgment things need to be changed, they will be changed. Any changes will be announced in class.
