In case of potentially excusable absences due to illness or something beyond the control, students are to
notify the instructor by email within 2 calendar days and provide the reasons of the absences and expected
return day. The instructor may require formal written documentation. Doctors note should state limitations
caused by sickness.
Students may have an excusable absence without a doctor note only in case of contagious cold or flu, and
when an evaluation is not scheduled. They are to write an email to the instructor immediately.
Late assignments: under NO circumstances will homework assignments, quizzes, writings, exams and
presentation be made up unless special arrangements have been made with the instructor prior to the
due date or exam date.
Students are to keep their phones and other devices off. Their participation points will be lost if they
are detected to be using them. For new words, regular or students dictionaries are welcomed.
Class cancellations: If the university cancels classes you need to continue reading the text and doing all
activities.
Integrity: All students are encouraged to review university policies pertaining to academic integrity available
on SFUs Policies and Procedures website (see Code of Academic Integrity and Good Conduct, SFU Policy
Number S10.01 here: http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html).
Students should be aware that while seeking the advice of native or expert speaker is often helpful,
excessively editorial and creative help in assignment is considered a form of cheating
