VI.
Statement on Faculty and Student Code of Ethics
The Code of Ethics establishes the standards for proper conduct in the classroom for both faculty
and students. Although this is a foundational concept, it emphasizes the key principle we will
uphold as a team. The faculty member will do their best to create an optimal teaching and learning
environment for each student individually and for the class as a whole. Students will receive fair
evaluation for all their work and their contributions to achieve the course objectives. On the other
hand, students will be responsible for their own actions, providing proper documentation when
they use the work of others as references. They will also respect the rights of others to contribute
to the teaching/learning environment according to their capabilities and motivation
