- Official Communications: At Georgia Tech, the official method for commicating with students is by email. For example, homework assignments will be made by email, and as we approach test dates, the exact date for each test will be confirmed by email. So it is important for you to check your Georgia Tech email account on a daily basis.
- Testing Policy: Calculator, computers, ipods, cell phones and other electronic devices may not be used during tests or during the final exam. Also, no formula sheets or other memory aids are permitted.
- Attendance: Students are expected to attend all lectures and recitations, without exception. Short quizzes will be given in recitation sections based on material discussed in the lectures, and on homework problems.
- Homework problems. Homework problems will be assigned after each lecture. Students are strongly encouraged to work all problems. Working on homework problems as part of a group is also strongly encouraged. Although homework will not be collected, recitation quizzes will often feature problems taken directly from this list.
- Make Up Exam Policy: Make-up exams will be given only for (1) official representation of the Institute, and (2) documented medical emergencies.
- Student Support: Professor Trotter and the four teaching assistants hold regularly scheduled office hours, and students are strongly encouraged to drop by for help. Come sooner rather than later. Experience shows that some Georgia Tech students are reluctant to ask for help as it something they never had to do in high school. Don't fall into this trap. The School of Mathematics wants every student to succeed and we will help you if you make the effort.
- Math Tutor Center: Free tutoring services are provided in the Math Lab, located in Skiles 257.
- Academic Integrity: Students are reminded of the obligations and expectations associated with the Georgia Tech Academic Honor Code.
