CLASSROOM POLICIES

Academic Integrity: This class follows the University's written policy on academic integrity. Sanctions for cheating are:

A. Warning: a written notice that repetitions of misconduct will result in more severe disciplinary action. The warning becomes part of the student's file in the Office of the Registrar and, if there is no other example of misconduct, is removed at the time of graduation.

B. Failure for project (exam, paper, experiment).

C. Failure of course. For serious and repeat offenses, the University reserves the right to suspend or expel.

Imposition of Sanctions:

First Offense - A and B
Second and Subsequent Offenses - B or C
In this class, copying or paraphrasing from the text or article in answer to worksheet questions will result in a zero on that worksheet. If this occurs more than twice the student will fail the course.

Class Policies:

• In accordance with University policy, a student with four or more unexcused absences from lecture and lab combined will receive an "F" in the course.
• Three late arrivals count as one absence. Therefore, frequently coming to class late will also result in a failing grade.
• If you are absent from class it is your responsibility to talk to me. Otherwise, the absence will be counted as unexcused.
• All assignments are due on the date stated in class. Late assignments will be taken up to one week after the due date with a 3 point deduction for each late day. After one week the assignment will be given a zero.
• Quizzes given before mid-term can be made up only on Tuesday of mid-term week, from 9:00 - 4:00.
• Quizzes due after mid-term and the mid-term exam can be made up only on Tuesday of the final week of classes from 9:00-4:00.
• Laboratories cannot be made up.
• All make-ups and late assignments require a written explanation within 24 hours of returning to campus and the make-ups will be substantially different than the original test and require extensive writing.
• Cell phones must be turned off while in class, both lecture and laboratory. They may be used only in extreme emergencies, which must be cleared with me.
