Collaboration:  You are allowed, even encouraged, to study together in test preparation and in doing homework (informally organized study groups are often very helpful for such a purpose). Detailed discussion of homework questions is okay. You may also consult with your instructor or your grader if you need help in answering homework questions. However, after you have discussed homework to whatever extent you desire, it is expected that you will compose your own answers to homework questions without further reference to the answers of others. If two or more submitted homework responses are identical, or nearly enough so that it is apparent they have a common author, then both (or all) collaborators will receive a score of zero and will be considered in violation of the BYU Honor Code.

Old Examinations:  Even though examinations will not be identical with those of previous terms, some of the questions may be taken from a common pool. Studying of examinations from a previous term is therefore forbidden. For the same reason, even though your unit examinations will be returned to you to aid you in your preparation for the final examination, you should not share your examinations with students who may take this course in the future.

Appeals:  Homework appeals should initially be directed to your grader, Carlene Skiles.  You may contact her in person, by email (carlene.skiles@gmail.com), or resubmit your homework with an attached written explanation of why you feel you were unfairly graded.  If you then believe the grader's response to be unfair, contact your instructor.  Appeals involving quizzes, examinations or the observing project should be made directly to your instructor.  Any appeals should be made within one week of when your appealed work is returned to you.

Returned Work:  Graded homework, unit exams and the observing project will be returned to you as quickly as it is practical to do so. Your final exam will not be returned to you.

Posted Scores:  To enable you to check on our records and to ascertain your class standing, your scores and class rank will be posted on the internet, with frequent updates, beginning after the first unit exam is scored.  You will be identified on this posting by your CID#, not your name.  Please check this posting often to help us maintain the accuracy of our records.  (If you desire that your scores not be posted, please inform your instructor.)
