No new feedback from ETRPC members or their colleagues. Send anything to Saville.

b. Appropriate Use of Laptops – Academic Honesty Issues (sample syllabi statements)

Flaherty had comments from Strahn, including his statement he includes in his syllabus. Also in WebC, there is an initial assignment that makes students agree to a variety of conditions including a section on academic honesty. Flaherty will forward to Saville. Flaherty indicated that other issues such as the lock-down browser and the ability/functions of WebCT to determine academic (dis)honesty would be helpful in this statement. Donovan has some wording to alert students to the wrongs of sharing of files.
