Instruction:
Text: How to Prove It, Second Edition, by D.J. Velleman
Course Outline:
We will follow the text and expect to cover the following topics:
Expectations:
Homework: There will be weekly assignments posted to OWL. An assignment is due at the beginning of class on the day it is due. I do not accept late homework, but I will drop the lowest score at the end of the term. You should complete each assignment entirely on your own (as if it were an exam). You must then submit it electronically via Crowdmark by the designated deadline. If you complete it by hand, then please submit proper scans of each page and not photos.
Midterm Exam: Wed. Nov 7 from 7pm to 9pm in 3M 3250.
Final Exam: Date To Be Announced
Evaluation:
| Homework | 25% |
| Midterm Exam | 35% |
| Final Exam | 40% |
Disclaimers:
Senate Policy on Prerequisites: Prerequisite checking is the student's responsibility. Unless you have either the prerequisites for this course or written special permission from your Dean to enroll in it, you may be removed from this course and it will be deleted from your record. This decision may not be appealed. You will receive no adjustment to your fees in the event that you are dropped from a course for failing to have the necessary prerequisites.
Scholastic Offences: Scholastic Offences are taken seriously and students are directed to read the appropriate policy, specifically, the definition of what constitutes a Scholastic Offence, at the following Web sites:

Absence/Missed work: If you are unable to meet a course requirement due to illness or other serious circumstances, you must provide valid medical or other supporting documentation to your Dean's office as soon as possible and contact your instructor immediately. It is the student's responsibility to make alternative arrangements with his or her instructor once the accommodation has been approved and the instructor has been informed. In the event of a missed final exam, a "Recommendation of Special Examination" form must be obtained from the Dean's Office immediately. For further information concerning UWO's Policy on Accomodation for Medical Illness please refer to this policy at:
https://www.uwo.ca/univsec/handbook/appeals/accommodation_medical.pdf
A student requiring academic accommodation due to illness should use the Student Medical Certificate when visiting an off-campus medical facility or request a "Record's Release Form" (located in the Dean's Office) for visits to Student Health Services. The form can be found here:
https://www.uwo.ca/univsec/handbook/appeals/medicalform_15JUN.pdf
Make-up exams and conflicts: If you know ahead of time that you are unable to attend a midterm or final exam, you must let your instructor know at least two weeks in advance so alternative arrangements can be made. See also the University's policy on final exam conflicts.
Accessibility statement: Please contact the course instructor if you require material in an alternate format or if you require any other arrangements to make this course more accessible to you. You may also wish to contact Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) at 661-2111 x 82147 for any specific questions regarding an accommodation.
