SOME IMPORTANT GENERAL INFORMATION OF RELEVANCE TO THE COURSE
Each student MUST present his/her UOIT student ID during mid-term and final exams, failure to do
so will earn a Fail mark for the examination.
Students must pass the Final Exam to get a passing grade for this course; otherwise an automatic F
will be assigned.
Please note the following:





Medical certificates MUST be sent DIRECTLY from the Doctor’s Office or Hospital within
5 days by mail or preferably by fax to the Academic Advisor of FEAS (fax number 905-7213370 attn: Academic Advisor).
A fee for the deferral must be paid by the student if the Medical certificate is valid and
arrives on time.
Failure to comply with the above will result in an F for the mid-term and/or the final exam.
Any portion of term grades from midterms (or any other term work) which were not
completed and that are considered eligible for consideration will be directly applied towards
the final exam. (i.e. Your final exam will be worth more.)
The deferred final exam will be either written or oral at the discretion of the instructor.
Academic Integrity and Conduct
UOIT is committed to the fundamental values of preserving academic integrity as defined in
UOIT policies and contained in the UOIT Calendar. Students should familiarize themselves with
UOIT’s policies and statements in this area. Acts of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism,
cheating, aiding others in cheating, and examination impersonation, will be dealt with severely as
they threaten the integrity of the academic system and are not acceptable.
UOIT and faculty members reserve the right to use electronic means to detect and help prevent
plagiarism. Students agree that by taking this course all assignments are subject to submission for
textual similarity review to Turnitin.com. Assignments submitted to Turnitin.com will be
included as source documents in Turnitin.com's restricted access database solely for the purpose
of detecting plagiarism in such documents for five academic years. The faculty member may
require students to submit their assignments electronically to Turnitin.com or the faculty member
may submit questionable text on behalf of a student. The terms that apply to UOIT's use of the
Turnitin.com service are described on the Turnitin.com website. (To read the entire policy, please
go to: http://www.uoit.ca/EN/main2/11246/13525/14057/14152/turnitin_policy.html.)
Accessibility
To insure that disability-related concerns are properly addressed during this course, students with
documented disabilities and who may require assistance to participate in this class are
encouraged to speak with their instructor as soon as possible. Students who suspect they may
have a disability that may effect their participation in this course are advised to go to the Centre
