3. Policies:
Absences
You are responsible for all assigned readings and materials presented in class lectures. You should be aware that missing class could adversely affect your performance on assignments and homework. It is your responsibility to obtain all materials missed and complete all assignments, even if you missed the class where the assignment was made.
Assignments
All assignments are due when noted. Late submissions will not be accepted, except with advance notice (48 hours) of extenuating circumstances.
Academic Honesty
Plagiarism and cheating are serious offenses and are not tolerated by the University.
For more information, please refer to the University's Academic Honesty policy.
Classroom Environment
Students and faculty are responsible for creating a good learning environment.
We will use computing technology in the classroom during labs; specific uses
of computing technology will be announced in advance with detailed instructions.
Students may use laptops or other portable devices for taking notes. However,
these portable devices should not be used to engage in non-classroom activities,
such as surfing the Net, checking e-mail, playing games or listening to music.
These activities would certainly divert your attention away from class and
could distract other students as well, thus corrupting the learning environment.
I reserve the right to end your use of a portable device, ask you to move,
or revoke the privilege of using wireless devices in the classroom.
During class breaks, students may use portable computing devices or lab computers
for personal use as long as they respect other class members. Material visible
on the computing device should not be offensive or incendiary. Any music played
during breaks should be at a level conducive to classroom civility.
Courteous Discourse
Whether in class or online, students are expected to conduct themselves with professional courtesy and decorum. Please make constructive comments; flames and insults are not acceptable. Disagree with the idea, not the person!
