Representing another person's work as your own is always wrong. Any suspected instance of academic dishonesty will be reported to the Academic Judiciary. For more comprehensive information on academic integrity, including categories of academic dishonesty, please refer to the academic judiciary website at http://www.stonybrook.edu/uaa/academicjudiciary/. It should be noted that no electronic devices (including cell phones) can used during any exam. If you are caught cheating, you will receive an F for the entire course and be reported to the Academic Judiciary committee. HOW TO STUDY

ATTEND LECTURES
READ THE BOOK;
PRACTICE DOING PROBLEMS. The lectures show you which topics to emphasize, how much detail you need to know, and how topics fit together. The exams are based on the lectures and the book. Use the textbook to supplement material presented in the lectures. LECTURES MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NOT IN THE TEXT, SO DO NOT MISS LECTURES. CRITICAL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT Stony Brook University expects students to respect the rights, privileges, and property of other people. Faculty are required to report to the Office of Judicial Affairs any disruptive behavior that interrupts their ability to teach, compromises the safety of the learning environment, and/or inhibits students' ability to learn.
