Welcoming message
As a diverse group, the Mathematics Department strives to
foster an open and supportive community in which to conduct research, to teach,
and to learn. In accordance with these beliefs and § 36.12 of the Wisconsin
Statutes, the Mathematics Department affirms that all community members are to
be treated with dignity and respect and that discrimination and harassment will
not be tolerated. We further commit ourselves to making the department a
supportive, inclusive, and safe environment for all students, faculty, staff,
and visitors, regardless of race, religion, national origin, sexual
orientation, gender identity, disability, age, pregnancy, or any other aspect
of identity. For more information, refer to https://www.math.wisc.edu/climate
I am firmly committed to promote an anti-discriminatory environment
where everyone feels safe and welcome. As such, you are expected to treat your
instructor and all other participants in the course with courtesy and respect.
Your comments to others should be factual, constructive and free from harassing
statements. Students need to contribute in intelligent, positive, and
constructive manners within the course.
Disability
Your success is important to me. Reasonable accommodations
for students with disabilities is a shared faculty and student responsibility.
Students are expected to inform me of their need for instructional
accommodations by the end of the third week of the semester, or as soon as
possible after a disability has been incurred or recognized. I will work either
directly with you or in coordination with the McBurney Center to identify and
provide reasonable instructional accommodations. Disability information,
including instructional accommodations as part of a student's educational
record, is confidential and protected under FERPA.
Mental Help
As a student you may experience a range of issues that can
cause barriers to learning. These might include
strained relationships, anxiety, high levels of stress, alcohol/drug problems,
feeling down, or loss of motivation. University Health Services is here to help
with these or other issues you may experience. You can learn about the free,
confidential mental health services available on campus by calling 608-265-5600
or visiting uhs.wisc.edu. Help is always available.
There are several options for confidential support,
counseling, and medical services for student victims of sexual assault, dating
violence, domestic violence on and off the UW-Madison campus. Student victims
also have options for reporting to campus and/or law enforcement. For
information about all of these options, please visit https://uhs.wisc.edu/assault/sa-resources.shtml
Academic Integrity
Students in this class have the right to expect that their
fellow students are upholding the academic integrity of this University.
Academic dishonesty is a serious offense at the University because it
undermines the bonds of trust and honesty between members of the community. On
homework assignments, academic dishonesty involves using someone else's work
without attribution (see the homework section for details). On quizzes and
exams, academic dishonestly includes but is not limited to: looking at another
students' work, making use of a disallowed reference during an exam, looking at
a cellphone for any reason (even if it's just to check the time) during an
exam, or not following the stated policies for take-home exams.
The math department treat all incidents of academic
dishonesty very seriously. For instance, the consequences for cheating on an
exam may range from automatically failing the course to suspension or
expulsion. We will not hesitate to initiate disciplinary procedures should such
a case arise. For more information, refer to https://www.students.wisc.edu/doso/academic-integrity/
