 Accommodations for students with disabilities are determined and approved by Disability Access Services (DAS). If you, as a student, believe you are eligible for accommodations but have not obtained approval, please contact DAS immediately at 541-737-4098 or at [[http://ds.oregonstate.edu|http://ds.oregonstate.edu]]. DAS notifies students and faculty members of approved academic accommodations and coordinates implementation of those accommodations. Students and faculty members are encouraged to discuss details of the implementation of individual accommodations, but this is not required. Accommodations for students with disabilities are determined and approved by Disability Access Services (DAS).

Nevertheless, each person must ultimately be responsible for her or his own education. Therefore, we will abide by a number of ground rules: 
- +    * In your interactions in class and outside of class, be mindful of the [[https://www.aps.org/programs/education/su4w/upload/4d_Classroom_Guidelines_Poster.pdf|principles outlined in this flyer distributed by the National Science Foundation]]. 
-    * We encourage students to work with classmates, other students, and the faculty.  However, you are expected to do this in a professional and responsible fashion.  Each student is expected to turn in assignments that have been independently synthesized and written.  This applies also to, and especially to, computer assignments.  Ask questions and discuss, but never simply copy answer without providing your own synthesis and interpretation.  Likewise, help your peers by discussing and explaining, not simply providing an answer to be copied. +    * Collaborate with classmates, other students, and the faculty in a professional and responsible way.  Each student is expected to turn in assignments that have been independently synthesized and written.  This applies also to, and especially to, computer assignments.  Ask questions and discuss, but never simply copy answer without providing your own synthesis and interpretation.  Likewise, help your peers by discussing and explaining, not simply providing an answer to be copied. 
-    * Homework solutions from previous years are very strictly off-limits. You are on your honor not to use them, and never to share your homework solutions with other students, now or in the future.  Likewise, the solutions are for your personal use only.  You may keep one copy in your personal files.+    * Homework solutions from previous years are very strictly off-limits.

     * Sources must be appropriately documented. If you follow a line of reasoning from another text, reference it properly (it will help you locate the resource later, too).  If someone else helps you solve a problem, reference that too.  In a research paper, the appropriate reference would be: Jane Doe, (private communication).     * Sources must be appropriately documented.
