Policies
 Each
group is required to meet with me
prior to presenting their project to the
class.
 For the presentation, if your group cannot
present on the assigned day you can
present at a later date for a penalty of 25
points. This must be pre-approved
otherwise your group will get a “0” for the
presentation.
Students with disabilities
 Please
let me know about any disabilities
that you may have to make necessary
arrangements as early as possible.
Plagiarism



You are required to give your lab instructor an
electronic copy of each power point
presentation and each written presentation
before a grade on your project can be
issued.
All power point and written presentations are
kept on file. If it is determined that you have
turned in a presentation that is someone
else’s work your grade for the assignment will
be “0.”
It’s certainly acceptable for your team to
develop a product that someone else has
used, just not a copy of someone else’s work.
