Course Policies:
-
Attendance is
REQUIRED at all class meetings. Attendance
will be taken at each class meeting. If you
cannot make a class meeting and have a good
excuse you MUST contact the instructor and make
arrangements to make up the work you missed.
You must have an excused absence to be given the
opportunity to make up the work. All work must
be completed before you can pass the course
successfully and graduate with a BS in Biology
from CSU. Any unexcused absence or work that is
not made up by the end of the semester will
result in a grade of a U.
-
Cheating and Plagiarism: Cheating in
any
form will not be tolerated; all work that you turn in
must
be in your own words and
must
be your own work. If your brainpower did not generate
what you turn in, it is considered cheating. The following are examples
of cheating: copying the work of another person, allowing another person
to do your assignment, working in a group on a graded item, copying or
closely paraphrasing referenced sources, using anything but your brainpower on
an exam, etc. If you share your assignment with another person and
they copy it, you are an accessory to cheating and
will receive a zero for the assignment. Cheating in any form will result in a zero on the
assignment and academic misconduct forms will be
filed with the Office of Student Conduct for any violation.
Disciplinary procedures are described at
http://adminservices.clayton.edu/studentconduct/.
-
Disruption of the
Learning Environment:
The current policy is
as follows:
Behavior which disrupts the
teaching–learning process during class activities
will not be tolerated. While
a variety of behaviors can be disruptive in a
classroom setting, more serious examples include
belligerent, abusive, profane, and/or threatening
behavior. A student who fails to respond to
reasonable faculty direction regarding classroom
behavior and/or behavior while participating in
classroom activities may be dismissed from class. A
student who is dismissed is entitled to due process
and will be afforded such rights as soon as possible
following dismissal. If found in violation, a
student may be administratively withdrawn and may
receive a grade of WF.
A more detailed description of
examples of disruptive behavior and appeal
procedures is provided at:
http://a-s.clayton.edu/DisruptiveClassroomBehavior.htmConditions attributed to physical or psychological disabilities are not
considered as a legitimate excuse for disruptive behavior.
