> | Assignments associated with class discussions:
Each week there will be an assignment associated with that week's topic. The assignment will be made in class and is due the following Tuesday at midnight. To pass the course, you may not miss more than three assignments. You may only do two assignments for classes that you miss (and that is only if you watch that day's recordings). Any assignment that is over a week late will not count. Assignments will be made on a high pass/pass/low pass/fail score. A pass on all assignments (but three) will equal an A. The remaining grades (B, C, D, F) are scaled similarly |

Campus Integrity Policy
The student handbook (p. 156) states: “Any act of deceit, falsehood or stealing by unethically copying or using someone else’s work in an academic situation is strictly prohibited.
- A student found guilty of plagiarism or cheating will receive an “F”(zero) for that particular paper, assignment or exam. Should this occur, the professor will have an interview with the student and will submit a written report of the incident to the academic dean.
- If a second offense should occur, the student will be asked to appear before the professor, the academic dean and the vice president for student development.
The student should realize that at this point continuation in a course and even his/her academic career may be in jeopardy. In the event of a recommendation for dismissal, the matter shall be referred to the Student Development Committee.”
