MAKE-UP POLICY
All assignments and projects must be turned in by the due date. Any assignment/project turned in after the due date will receive half credit (50% credit). Extenuating circumstances will be evaluated on an individual basis. It is your responsibility to inform the Instructor of any late assignments submitted.
Exams cannot be made up. Your lowest exam grade will be dropped from your final course grade. If more than one exam is missed, then you will have to take a zero for the second and every subsequent exam missed.
Quizzes cannot be made up. If you miss a quiz, then you will have to take a zero for that quiz.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Students are expected to attend all scheduled meetings of class. Only absences with a documented excuse from a doctor or excused college activities will be considered as an extenuating circumstance. After a student has missed the equivalent of two weeks of class (4 classes), the instructor may assign a grade of "F" for the course. Extenuating circumstances may be considered at the discretion of the instructor.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Academic Integrity is expected of all students. Dishonesty includes claiming credit for work others completed, lying, plagiarizing, cheating on tests, and copying other students' assignments. A single incident of violating academic standards of integrity may result in an "F" for the assignment, an "F" in the course, or expulsion. A violation of academic standards will be reported to the Provost. The student(s) involved in the incident may appeal any action through the Grievance Procedure. Plagiarism is a very serious offense and includes copying from other students, purchasing completed assignments, copying from textbooks, claiming as one's own work the ideas of someone else, not giving credit to a source (whether the source was directly quoted, paraphrased, or summarized), or citing a source incorrectly.
SPECIAL NEEDS
Any student with special needs that may require any adaptation or modification of classroom work is responsible for informing the faculty of those needs and possible modifications/adaptations.
