Course Evaluation:

Assignments (excluding take-home exams) in Fall/Winter courses due after the last day of class and

worth more than 10% of the final grade in the course must be provided to students no later than two

weeks before the last day of classes. Normally at least 25% of the grade in an undergraduate half credit course offered in the Fall/Winter academic session must be determined and made available by the final date for withdrawal (see the Academic Calendar – Important Dates). For full-year courses at least 25% of the grade must normally be determined and made available before the midyear review in January. No final examination is worth more than 50% of the final grade. With the exception of laboratory examinations in the sciences, no in-class tests or final examinations which are worth more than 10% of the final grade may be held during the last two weeks of classes in the Fall or Winter term.

University Policies

Academic Integrity:

Academic dishonesty, which includes plagiarism and cheating, is an extremely serious academic offence and carries penalties varying from failure on an assignment to expulsion from the University. Definitions, penalties, and procedures for dealing with plagiarism and cheating are set out in TrentUniversity’s Academic Integrity Policy. You have a responsibility to educate yourself – unfamiliarity with the policy is not an excuse. You are strongly encouraged to visit Trent’s Academic Integrity website to learn more:

Access to Instruction:

It is TrentUniversity's intent to create an inclusive learning environment. If a student has a disability and documentation from a regulated health care practitioner and feels that he/she may need accommodations to succeed in a course, the student should contact the Student Accessibility Services Office (SAS) at the respective campus as soon as possible.

Clickers (Personal Response Systems): (to be included where applicable)

Clickers (Personal Response Systems): As clicker records are used in this course to compute a portion of course grades, the use of a clicker or iclicker REEF account other than your own is an academic offence. In lecture or tutorial, possession of a clicker other than your own or accessing a REEF account other than your own may be interpreted as intent to commit an academic offense.

Safe Assignment (to be included where applicable):

Assignments/Essays/Papers [insert term of your choice] must be submitted electronically to the SafeAssign drop box in Blackboard. SafeAssignutilizes plagiarism-checking software. Further information about SafeAssign will be provided on the class LearningSystem/Blackboard site.
