Please read and acknowledge the course policy on Academic Integrity.

I have read and understand the above policy

We will make use of the course webpage for many aspects of this course. Much of the information on that page will only be available to current students in the class. Furthermore, we will use the web for submitting assignments and for viewing your grades.

For these reasons, we ask that you create an identity and password for use in this course. You may choose whatever username and password you wish. Please note that:

• For your username, please use only alphanumeric characters (e.g., letters and numbers)
• For your password, you may choose any combination of letters, numbers and symbols, however no spaces should exist.
• Please remember both the username and password which you choose. For both username and password, upper and lower case letters are not treated as the same. You must remember any capitalization you use.
• The username and password has nothing to do with any of your existing computer accounts. In fact, for security it is wise that you pick a password which is different from any other passwords which you use elsewhere.

Finally, we ask several questions in order to gather information about familiarity with topics for students entering the class. This will help us in providing adequate support during the semester.
