Instead, go to the main hallway in the basement of MSEB; see here.) This website also has information that you should be aware of.

Tutoring
Academic Integrity
Academic Integrity may be summed up by the phrase, "your work must be your own." Violations will be processed according to the established guidelines. Please note that "it is the responsibility of the student to refrain from infractions of academic integrity, from conduct that may lead to suspicion of such infractions, and from conduct that aids others in such infractions" (Section 1-401 of the Student Code). Violations of academic integrity include, but are not limited to, cheating, forgery, fabrication, or plagiarising as outlined in Section 1-402 of the Student Code. A range of academic sanctions may be taken against a student who engages in academic dishonesty. Please see Sections 1-401 through 1-406 of the Student Code for additional information and procedures.
Students with Disabilities
I am pleased to offer reasonable accommodations. Please bring your letter from DRES within one week of the start of the semester or one week of when you add the course (whichever is later). Please note that you will only be able to take a DRES exam if you clear the exam date and time with me before you submit a request.
Attendance Policy
Students are expected to attend all classes and are responsible for all information presented. If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to get notes on what you missed. For University-excused absences as outlined in Section 1-501(c) of the Student Code, typically your grade for any missed work of significant weight will be based on your grade for the final exam, or the grade breakdown for your work will be reweighted. Please notify me ASAP so we may discuss how to make up any missed work, and have appropriate documentation sent to me ASAP.
Calculators, Portable Electronic Devices, and Distracting Behaviours
No calculators (or other electronic aids) are permitted on quizzes and exams, so study accordingly. The use of any portable electronic device (phones, e-readers, mp3 players, etc.) during class with- out prior permission of the instructor is prohibited. Other behaviours (reading a newspaper, etc.) which the instructor deems distracting, must be stopped in class. Failure to adhere to this policy may result in a lowered overall grade, and you may be asked to leave the room.
* If you wish to email me, replace "at" with "@" and append ".edu". Note that you should always use your illinois.edu account to email me; if you don't, I will respond asking you to. If you wish to ask an administrative type question, make sure that it is not answered on this website first. Due to the huge amount of emails from students I receive daily, I will simply refer you to this website for basic course information. Also, I will not answer math-related questions by email. You should either ask myself or your TA after class, or go to your TA's office hours or the MATH 221 tutoring hours in the evening. If none of these options work, feel free to come to my office hours or set up an appointment. Thank you for your understanding.
