Student Class Participation and Drops

Students are responsible for dropping this class. If a student has not contacted the Instructor either by sending an e-mail message, completing an assignment or quiz, or speaking to the Instructor by telephone for three consecutive weeks, the Instructor may drop the student.

Academic Honesty
Students are expected to abide by ethical standards in preparing and presenting material which demonstrates their level of knowledge and which is used to determine grades. Such standards are founded on basic concepts of integrity and honesty.

These include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

1. Students shall not plagiarize, which is defined as:

A. stealing or passing off as one’s own the ideas or words of

another, or

B. using a creative production without crediting the source.

The following cases constitute plagiarism:

• paraphrasing published material without acknowledging the source,

• making significant use of an idea or a particular arrangement of ideas, e.g., outlines,

• writing a paper after consultation with persons who provide suitable ideas and incorporating these ideas into the paper without acknowledgment, or

• submitting under one’s own name term papers or other reports which have been prepared by others.

2. Students shall not cheat, which is defined as:

A. using notes, aids, or the help of other students on tests or exams in ways other than those expressly permitted by the instructor, or

B. misreporting or altering the data in laboratory or research projects involving the collection of data.

3. Students shall not furnish materials or information in order to enable another student to plagiarize or cheat.

Instructors may deal with academic dishonesty in one or more of the following ways:

1. Assign an appropriate academic penalty such as an oral reprimand (as in cases where there is reasonable doubt that the student knew that the action violated the standards of honesty); assign an “F” on all or part of a particular paper, project, or exam (for example, where it was felt that it was a

one-time occurrence); or assign an “F” in the course (as in cases where the dishonesty was serious, premeditated, or part of an ongoing scheme).
