Late Work: In the case of an extraordinary and well-documented circumstance class
activities can be made-up for full credit. The instructor will need to be contacted before the
absence and these occurrences will be handled on an individual basis. In non-emergency cases
or without appropriate written documentation late assignments will still be accepted,
however will receive one-half credit minus errors and will need to be submitted within 1
week of the due date or missed class.
No late assignments (or anything else) will be accepted 1 week before the final exam.
Final Exam Schedule:
Classroom Etiquette: Students are expected to observe classroom etiquette and common
courtesy to the instructor and fellow classmates. Cell phones and other devices are to be silenced
during class. If you receive an emergency communication, please excuse yourself from the room.
Refrain from using the computer or printer during class for things other than in-class activities.
If you do this during class, you will be asked to leave and lose any points for that day.
Be on time however if you must be late please seat yourself as close to the entrance as possible and
avoid any disruption. From “ Assignments” above: You are asked that assignments are read &
completed before coming to class therefore you will know what files are needed for discussion from
your homework assignments.
Academic Integrity: To assure fairness to all students and to protect academic integrity, the
highest ethical standards will be maintained in this course. Academic dishonesty (e.g., cheating,
allowing others to cheat from you, plagiarism) will not be tolerated. The work you hand in must be
your own. Students will not receive credit for work that fails to meet the standards of academic
integrity. In addition, acts of academic dishonesty will be reported. This is a serious offense and
will not be tolerated. For more information refer to the "Academic Dishonesty" policy in the
university catalog or if you have any questions about the academic standards as laid out in the
Dakota College at Bottineau handbook the link is:
Disabilities and Special Needs: If you have any condition, such as a physical or learning
disability, for which you need extra assistance, please see me immediately. If you have already met
with Student Development personnel, please provide me with information regarding your special
needs as soon as possible so that I can make appropriate accommodations.
