Course Evalutions. The online evaluation window for winter quarter will run from TBA through TBA.
Cheating. The UCI academic honesty policy applies. Consequences of cheating in this class: a letter in your UCI file, and the course grade is lowered, most likely to F. Material that is copied from books or Web pages needs to be quoted and the source must be given. If you plagarize, you run the severe risk of failing the class, in a most disgraceful manner.
Disabilities. If you need an accommodation because of a disability, please contact the instructor and the Disability Services Center as soon as possible.
