Additional Course Information
This section contains some general rules that will be enforced during the
course. Please review these guidelines carefully. If you have any questions,
please contact the instructor immediately.
Integrity and Ethics
The policy of the university on scholarship and grades will be followed.
Implicit in handing in homework, assignments, papers, and exams is that they
represent the student's own work (or the result of sanctioned
collaboration). Any exceptions should be explicitly noted. Representing
someone else's work as one's own is grounds for failing the course.
Examinations
The final exam are required. These exams will contain questions covering
material in the required text, homework, assignments, and lectures.
Make-up
Make-ups for graded activities may be arranged if your absence is caused by
documented illness or personal emergency. A written explanation (including
supporting documentation) must be submitted to your instructor; if the
explanation is acceptable, an alternative will be arranged. Whenever
possible, make-up arrangements will be completed prior to the scheduled
activity. A student not taking an exam or not turning in an assignment will
receive a score of 0. Alternative times for the final exam will be arranged
only under university criteria for rescheduling a final exam.
Incomplete
The I grade indicates that the instructor has (1) reasonable expectations
that the student can complete an unfinished course on her/his own no later
than the end of the next semester and (2) believes that legitimate reasons
exist to justify extending the deadline for course completion. The only
acceptable reasons will be documented illness or personal emergency. A
written explanation (including supporting documentation) must be submitted
to your instructor; if the explanation is acceptable, an Agreement for the
Completion of Incomplete Work will be filled out as a contract between the
student and the instructor.
Special needs
It is University policy to provide, on a flexible and individual basis,
reasonable accommodations to students that have disabilities that may affect
their ability to participate in course activities or to meet course
requirements. Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact their
instructor early in the quarter to discuss their individual needs for
accommodations.
