7 Policies

7.1 Integrity

Honesty is the best policy. We will conduct this course on an honor system. This means that we will trust each other to maintain integrity. Please do not cheat or aid others in cheating.

7.2 Collaboration Policy

While I highly encourage students to help each other in this course, please observe the following guidelines:

• First try to work on problems on your own. Give yourself time to think through problems.
• If you require additional help, please feel free to work collaboratively with other students on a separate piece of paper. In the process of helping each other, please do not rush through the steps to reach a solution. Allow students struggling with the problem more time to think through each step with minor hints so that they can arrive at the final solution on their own.
• At the end of collaboration, you should still write your own homework solutions from start to finish. Do not short-change your own learning process by copying answers.

Exception to the Collaboration Policy: Please work independently on the AP progress check multiple-choice questions, which you will have to submit online via AP Classroom at the end of each unit. This is an opportunity for me to determine how much each student has learned at the end of each unit.
