Expectations:
If there is an issue affecting your ability to perform, let me know immediately.
Every student is responsible for contributing to class harmony.
Attend all scheduled classes and arrive to class on time; tardy individuals are disruptive.
Turn cell phone ringers off.
If you must accept a call, quietly leave the room before answering it.
Academic Offences:
Academic offences will not be tolerated.
Even a first-time offence will be reported and appropriate action taken.
An official statement of policy can be found at:
http://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~ugoffice/html/course_responsibilities.html
Possible academic offences include:
• Infringing unreasonably on the work of other members of the University community (e.g.,
disrupting classes or examinations; harassing, intimidating or threatening others).
• Cheating on any work used to judge a student’s performance (e.g., exams, quizzes, etc.).
• Plagiarism (i.e., presenting ideas, words or other intellectual endeavors of another as one's
own).
• Improperly obtaining, using, or distributing exams or similar materials.
• Falsifying academic records, including tests and examinations, or submitting false
credentials.
• Oral or written misrepresentations (e.g., fraudulent health claims) which may have an effect
on academic evaluation.
• Submitting an essay, report, or assignment when a major portion has been previously
submitted or is being submitted for another course without the express permission of all
instructors involved.
Midterm & Final Exam:
The final exam will primarily cover material introduced after the midterm. Exams compose 85%
of your overall mark. The purpose of these exams is to ensure that you have learned the material
and are capable of competently applying what you have learned. If you miss the final exam
without a valid excuse (e.g., verified doctor’s note), you will receive a zero for this exam (i.e., an
automatic course failure).
Quizzes:
Assignments will be given at the beginning of most tutorial sessions. These assignments will
neither be collected, nor marked. However, quizzes covering material from these assignments
will be given during the next tutorial session. After the quiz is collected, solutions will be
presented as requested.
Special Tutorial Sessions:
Occasionally there will be special tutorial sessions. These sessions are intended to help first year
students to prepare for their first work placements (e.g., prepare resumes and conduct mock
interviews). Attendance at these tutorial sessions is mandatory.
