Academic dishonesty is unacceptable in a profession that is built on honesty and trust. See your handbook for clarity on the issue. Cell phone use during the class is strictly prohibited unless used for class purpose. Misuse of cell phones will result in confiscation of the phone until the end of the class and a visit to the coordinator of the program. 11. During an exam/quiz, there is to be nothing on your desk except 2 #2 pencils and an eraser. When you have completed the exam/quiz, turn it over on your desk with the Scantron sheet under the paper. If you wish to look up answers, you may leave the room with your book and return at the end of the exam. The exam will be reviewed at the instructor’s discretion. After the review, students may return their belongings to their desk. No cell phones should be out before the exam has been collected. “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” Helen Keller
