14. Attendance Requirements:
A. Students should make every effort to attend all class meetings. All absences must be
explained to the satisfaction of the instructor who will decide whether the omitted
work may be made up. Any student who misses twenty–five (25%) or more of the
regularly scheduled class meetings will receive a grade of F for that course.
a. Tardies: Roll will be taken at the beginning of class. If you walk in late and
attendance has already been taken, you must make a point to see the professor
after class so that you are marked off as being at class, however, you will be
counted as tardy. Failure to see the instructor after class if you missed roll call
will result in being marked as absent that day. NOTE: *2 tardies = 1
absence!*
B. Work due when a student is scheduled to be absent for any reason should be turned-in
before the class meets. LATE WORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR PLANNED
ABSENCES, INCLUDING ATHLETIC EVENTS. If you are ill or have an
unplanned absence, all work must be turned-in BEFORE the next class meeting.
15. Plagiarism and Academic Dishonesty:
ACADEMIC HONESTY:
Wayland students are expected to conduct themselves according to the highest standards
of academic honesty. Academic misconduct for which a student is subject to penalty
includes all forms of cheating, such as possession of examinations or examination
materials, forgery, or plagiarism. Disciplinary action for academic misconduct is the
responsibility of the faculty member assigned to the course. The faculty member is
charged with assessing the gravity of any case of academic dishonesty and with giving
sanctions to any student involved. The faculty member involved will file a record of the
offense and the punishment imposed with the dean of the division, campus dean, and the
provost/academic vice president. Any student who has been penalized for academic
dishonesty has the right to appeal the judgment or the penalty assessed.
Plagiarism
“Plagiarism — The attempt to represent the work of another, as it may relate to written or
oral works, computer-based work, mode of creative expression (i.e. music, media or the
visual arts), as the product of one's own thought, whether the other's work is published or
unpublished, or simply the work of a fellow student.
1.
When a student submits oral or written work for credit that includes the words,
ideas, or data of others, the source of that information must be acknowledged through
complete, accurate, and specific references, and, if verbatim statements are included,
through use of quotation marks as well. By placing one’s name on work submitted for
credit, the student certifies the originality of all work not otherwise identified by
appropriate acknowledgements. A student will avoid being charged with plagiarism if
there is an acknowledgement of indebtedness.”
