I don't accept late work. Papers are due by the beginning of class. If you should miss a class due to medical reasons, you must provide documentation that states you were otherwise occupied at the time or in the general vicinity of class time. All excused absences must be presented right after the absence, and will be verified. I will determine what is excused. Any missed exams will only be made up with appropriate excused documentation.
Plagiarism
This is the use of another source’s words, ideas or statistics without their permission and/or proper citation. Anyone who plagiarizes material in my class will receive a grade of zero on that assignment. I also reserve the right to assign you an “F” for the course and/or refer you to our chair for further sanctions. Please keep in mind that one can be expelled from the college for academic dishonesty.
Also see Academic dishonesty / Academic integrity policy.
Electronic Devices
Pagers and cellular phones that go off during lectures and presentations are a huge distraction. All electronic devices are to be SILENCED during class, either off or in the vibrate mode. Please do not leave class to answer pages. You may be asked to leave class if I hear these devices. You will be asked to provide pizza/doughnuts the next class period in consideration for bothering your peers.
Students with Disabilities
If you are a student with a medical, psychological or a learning difference and requesting reasonable academic accommodations due to this disability, you must provide an official request of accommodation to your professor(s) from the Disability Resource Center within the first two weeks of the beginning of classes. Students are to contact the center on the main campus to follow through with, and receive assistance in the documentation process to determine the appropriate accommodations related to their disability.
You may call (435) 652-7516 for an appointment and further information regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 per Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The office is located in the Student Services Center, Room #201 of the Edith Whitehead Building.
