The homework is weighted so heavily, because it includes the
computer assignments that are vital to understanding the course material.
The presentations consist of presenting selected homework problems
in class on the board; I will assign the problems to individual students
throughout the semester.
Both Math 441 and 620 will have projects with professional grade type-set
reports, but they will be different in nature and level;
they will be assigned no later than half-way during the semester and
will have to be completed before the end of classes.
See also the general policies and procedures for more information.
Other Information
Official UMBC Honors Code
By enrolling in this course, each student assumes the responsibilities of
an active participant in UMBC's scholarly community in which everyone's
academic work and behavior are held to the highest standards of honesty.
Cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, and helping others to commit these acts
are all forms of academic dishonesty, and they are wrong. Academic
misconduct could result in disciplinary action that may include, but is
not limited to, suspension or dismissal.

UMBC Student Handbook, the Faculty Handbook, or the UMBC Policies
section of the UMBC Directory.
