2. Academic Honesty Academic honesty is fundamental to the activities and principles of any
educational setting. All members of the academic community must be confident that each persons
work has been responsibly and honorably acquired, developed, and presented. Any effort to gain
advantage not given to all students is dishonest whether or not the gain is successful. The academic
community regards academic dishonesty as an extremely serious matter, with serious consequences
that range from probation to expulsion. When in doubt about plagiarism, paraphrasing, quoting, or
collaboration, consult the instructor.
3. Attendance and Participation Regular attendance is expected. Please contact the instructor by e-
mail prior to the absence if you must miss a class for any reason. A note from the health center is not
necessary nor does it preclude you from assignments or exams. You will be responsible for obtaining
handouts and/or materials that were distributed during your absence.
