Fall 2018 Course Syllabi

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 see Instructor if you have any disabilities and/or special needs. We try making arrangements so the whole class can participate in the activities we do. Other: Please email, call, or stop by my office if you have any problems/questions with the class. I look forward to being your instructor. Any announcements about class will go through the Campus Student Email Policy. Student Email Policy: Dakota College at Bottineau is increasingly dependent upon email as an official form of communication. A student’s campus-assigned email address will be the only one recognized by the campus for official mailings. The liability for missing or not acting upon important information conveyed via campus email rests with the student.
