Did I Miss Anything? by Tom Wayman

Policies

Late Assignments: Work should be turned in at the beginning of the class. After two late assignments, expect to lose a letter grade. Don't skip class to finish an assignment.
Collaboration: You may discuss assignments with others. All write-ups must be your own work.
Cell Phones: Any cell phone activity in class will cost you half of your in-class credit until you do an extra assignment.
Rule 10: Don't be stupid. Plagiarism and cheating are stupid (see the official UB policy for details). Exploiting the system is stupid.
