   We will now briefly go over course policies. But…

   Going over this information during class does not
    replace your responsibility to read and understand
    all policies/procedures on the ground rules.

   To view important course information go to:
          www.math.purdue.edu/ma261
                        or
                   Brightspace

   Calculus, Early Transcendentals, Third Edition by Briggs, Cochran,
    Gillett, and Schulz; published by Pearson.
   Students need access to MyLab Math.
     Access is through Brightspace.
     There is a two-week trial period for the MyLab Math account. After
      that students have to pay the (nonrefundable) access fee.
     Students who have purchased multi-term access previously do NOT
      need to purchase access again.

   The physical textbook is NOT required. MyLab Math gives
    students access to the ebook.
     Students may purchase MyLab Math access directly from Pearson during
      their two-week trial period.

   Academic integrity is one of the highest values that Purdue University
    holds. Individuals are encouraged to alert university officials to potential
    breeches of this value by either emailing integrity@purdue.edu or by
    calling 765-494-8778. While information may be submitted anonymously,
    the more information that is submitted provides the greatest opportunity
    for the university to investigate the concern.
   Purdue prohibits academic dishonesty. According to University policy
    cheating, plagiarism, lying and deceit in any of their diverse forms (such as
    the use of substitutes for taking examinations, the use of illegal cribs,
    plagiarism and copying during examinations) is dishonest and must not be
    tolerated. Moreover, knowingly to aid, abet, directly or indirectly, other
    parties in committing dishonest acts is in itself dishonest. If found guilty of
    academic dishonesty, possible penalties can range from receiving a zero on
    the assignment to expulsion from the University. For more details about
    the Purdue policy on academic dishonesty see
   www.purdue.edu/odos/osrr/academicintegritybrochure.php

   If you become quarantined or isolated at any point in time during
    the semester, in addition to support from the Protect Purdue Health
    Center, you will also have access to an Academic Case Manager who
    can provide you academic support during this time.
   Your Academic Case Manager can be reached at acmq@purdue.edu
    and will provide you with general guidelines/resources around
    communicating with your instructors, be available for academic
    support, and offer suggestions for how to be successful when
    learning remotely.
   Importantly, if you find yourself too sick to progress in the course,
    notify your academic case manager and notify your instructors via
    email. We will make arrangements based on your particular
    situation. The Office of the Dean of Students (odos@purdue.edu) is
    also available to support you should this situation occur.

   The Protect Purdue Plan, which includes the Protect Purdue Pledge, is campus policy and as such
    all members of the Purdue community must comply with the required health and safety
    guidelines. Required behaviors in this class include: staying home and contacting the Protect
    Purdue Health Center (496-INFO) if you feel ill or know you have been exposed to the virus,
    wearing a mask in classrooms and campus building, at all times (e.g., no eating/drinking in the
    classroom), disinfecting desk/workspace prior to and after use, maintaining proper social
    distancing with peers and instructors (including when entering/exiting classrooms), refraining from
    moving furniture, avoiding shared use of personal items, maintaining robust hygiene (e.g.,
    handwashing, disposal of tissues) prior to, during and after class, and following all safety directions
    from the instructor.
    Students who are not engaging in these behaviors (e.g., wearing a mask) will be offered the
    opportunity to comply. If non-compliance continues, possible results include instructors asking the
    student to leave class and instructors dismissing the whole class. Students who do not comply with
    the required health behaviors are violating the University Code of Conduct and will be reported to
    the Dean of Students Office with sanctions ranging from educational requirements to dismissal
    from the university.
   Any student who has substantial reason to believe that another person in a campus room (e.g.,
    classroom) is threatening the safety of others by not complying (e.g., not wearing a mask) may
    leave the room without consequence. The student is encouraged to report the behavior to and
    discuss next steps with their instructor. Students also have the option of reporting the behavior to
    the Office of the Student Rights and Responsibilities. See also Purdue University Bill of Student
    Rights.

   Emergency preparedness is your personal responsibility. Purdue University is continuously
    preparing for natural disasters or human-caused incidents with the ultimate goal of maintaining a
    safe and secure campus. Let’s review the following procedures:
   To report an emergency, call 911.
   To obtain updates regarding an ongoing emergency, and to sign up for Purdue Alert text
    messages, view www.purdue.edu/ea
   There are nearly 300 Emergency Telephones outdoors across campus and in parking garages that
    connect directly to the Purdue Police Department (PUPD). If you feel threatened or need help,
    push the button and you will be connected immediately.
   If we hear a fire alarm, we will immediately suspend class, evacuate the building, and proceed to
    the area between WTHR and STEW. Do not use the elevator.
   If we are notified of a Shelter in Place requirement for a tornado warning, we will suspend class
    and shelter in the lowest level of this building away from windows and doors.
   If we are notified of a Shelter in Place requirement for a hazardous materials release, or a civil
    disturbance, including a shooting or other use of weapons, we will suspend class and shelter in
    our classroom, shutting any open doors or windows, locking or securing the door, and turning
    off the lights.
