Participation within the classroom is highly encouraged and is an integral part of the higher education
experience. Ask questions – comment on discussions.
Academic Integrity:
Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary
defines plagiarism as: “The appropriation or imitation of
the language, ideas, and thoughts of another author, and representation of them as one’s original
work.” There will be
zero tolerance
of any form of academic dishonesty. If any evidence appears of
students not doing their own work, plagiarism, or outright cheating on quizzes/exams, the matter will be
investigated. If it is concluded that such dishonesty occurred, the student in question will receive an
automatic “F” for the course. Furthermore, the matter will be reported to the appropriate university
office and the instructor will participate in any proceedings against the guilty party.
Disabilities and Special Needs:
Please inform the instructor within the first week of classes if any assistance is required due to
disabilities or special needs.
