 '''Grading:'''  I will make an attempt to grade homework and exams in a way that is consistent, to the extent possible, with the way other professors have graded this class, both this term and in the past.  The only specific information I have so far is Jeff's link (also listed above): http://www1.american.edu/faculty/jadler/responsibility.html  Hopefully our class will work harder and more responsibly than his, and that will be reflected in the grades.
 '''Academic Integrity:'''  To the extent that grades are based on a curve, cheating to get a better grade on an assignment or exam can result in ''lowering'' the grades of some of your classmates.  ''This is not acceptable and cheating will not be tolerated.''  Cheating will be handled as required by American University.
