POLICIES

• Active participation is the key to success in this course. It is the students' responsibility to attend every class, check the CANVAS site regularly, go over the course materials very carefully, and complete all quizzes and homework before the due dates.

• Quizzes may be assigned on the day of the class and are due by 11:59 pm on the same day.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

• Academic integrity is fundamental to the activities and principles of a university.

• All members of the academic community must be confident that each person's work has been responsibly and honorably acquired, developed, and presented.

• The academic community regards breaches of academic integrity rules as extremely serious matters.

• Sanctions for such a breach may include academic sanctions from the instructor, including failing the course for any violation, to disciplinary sanctions ranging from probation to expulsion. When in doubt about plagiarism, paraphrasing, quoting, collaboration, or any other form of cheating, consult the course instructor.
