Course policies Classroom Behavior: Classroom behavior that interferes with either the instructor’s ability to conduct the class or the ability of students to benefit from the instruction is not acceptable. Students engaging in improper classroom behavior may have points deducted from their total points in the course, or if the situation warrants, be reprimanded to the university’s committee on student discipline. Academic Honesty and Appeals: Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. Behavior that violates standards is not acceptable. Examples are the use of unauthorized material, communication with fellow students during an examination, attempting to benefit from the work of another student, and similar behavior that defeats the intent of an examination or other class work. Cheating on exams, plagiarism, improper acknowledgement of sources in essays, and the use of a single essay or paper in more than one course without permission are considered very serious offences and shall be grounds for disciplinary action as outlined in the current General Catalogue.
