About Recitations: Recitations are for your questions and to help clarify material that is confusing. I will have some material prepared, but recitation works best when it is driven by the students. Please do not think that any question is too basic to ask in recitation--chances are several of your classmates want to ask the same question, and you will be doing them a favor.

Office Hours

Wed 3:00-4:00pm, Fri 12:45-1:45pm. DRL 4N23 (my office). If these times do not work for you, we can try to set up an appointment.

Note: Office hours are for YOUR benefit, not mine. It is in your interest to make use of them!!

    Academic Dishonesty

    I will tolerate no cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty. I will report cheating to Prof. Rimmer and, if we deem appropriate, to the Office of Student Conduct. See the Pennbook for the relevant University policy, and consult with me or Prof. Rimmer to clarify any ambiguities.
