ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

Please consult your course calendar for details, definitions and penalties. Beware, I take cheating VERY seriously. If you are caught cheating on a test the full weight of the University regulations on academic misconduct will come down on you, I promise.

MISSED TESTS

Please contact me ASAP so we can set something up. An acceptable documented excuse (e.g., illness) will likely result in a make up test. I require proof, such as Doctor’s note.

Workload is NEVER an acceptable excuse, do NOT tell me how many tests you have that week, or how many papers you have due, I will just laugh maniacally and say ‘Welcome to University’.
