Homework: As it was last quarter, homework is by far the most important aspect of this course. Learning analysis is not easy. Skill comes with dedication and experience. It is impossible to learn to write proofs simply by watching others do it, so it is imperative that you practice as many problems as you can and ask questions as often as necessary. Writing mathematics well is a craft, aim to hone it!

Academic Integrity: It is my opinion that there is hardly any human act more satisfying or important than the sharing of knowledge. I therefore consider the classroom and the university at large to be hallowed ground, well deserving of all the humility and respect that we would afford our other most sacred places.

Please refer to the University's policy regarding cheating and plagiarism found in the Campus Administration Manual, Section 684.

In short: be sensible, respectful, and mindful of the integrity of the system we are all so lucky to share.
