COURSE POLICIES
Student Conduct In-Class Policy
Any acts of classroom disruption that go beyond the normal rights of students to question
and discuss with instructors the educational process relative to subject content will not be
tolerated, in accordance with the Academic Code of Conduct described in the Student
Handbook.
Electronic Devices In-Class Policy
Cellular phones, pagers, CD players, radios, and similar devices are prohibited in the
classroom and laboratory facilities. Calculators and computers are prohibited during
examinations and quizzes, unless specified. Reasonable laptop-size computers may be
used in lecture for the purpose of taking notes.
Cheating Policy
Students are expected to uphold the school’s standard of conduct relating to academic
honesty. Students assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of the academic
work they submit. The guiding principle of academic integrity shall be that a student's
submitted work, examinations, reports, and projects must be that of the student's own
work. Students shall be guilty of violating the honor code if they:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Represent the work of others as their own.
Use or obtain unauthorized assistance in any academic work.
Give unauthorized assistance to other students.
Modify, without instructor approval, an examination, paper, record, or report for the
purpose of obtaining additional credit.
5. Misrepresent the content of submitted work.
The penalty for violating the honor code is severe. Any student violating the honor code
is subject to receive a failing grade for the course and will be reported to the Office of
Student Affairs. If a student is unclear about whether a particular situation may constitute
an honor code violation, the student should meet with the instructor to discuss the
situation.
For this class, it is permissible to assist classmates in general discussions of computing
techniques. General advice and interaction are encouraged. Each person, however, must
develop his or her own solutions to the assigned homework and laboratory exercises.
Students may not "work together" on graded assignments. Such collaboration constitutes
cheating, unless it is a grouped assignment. A student may not use or copy (by any
means) another's work (or portions of it) and represent it as his/her own.
LECTURE, LABORATORY, AND EXAMINATION SCHEDULE
