Homework and Quizzes


Homework will be assigned for each topic and, in general, will be submitted at the beginning of class on Fridays. Weekly
quizzes will be given on Fridays with the exception of weeks when exams are given. The lowest homework and the
lowest quiz scores will be dropped from the course grade.
Exams: All exams will be in-class during the normally-scheduled class time. You are expected to be in class on time, with
all materials on exam days. Materials will not be loaned out or shared during an exam or a quiz. Laptops, cell phones or
other similar electronic devices may not be out or on during the exams, and may result in the confiscation of your exam
and a grade of zero.
Class Attendance:
Students should make every effort to attend every class meeting. Excused absences will be granted only for universitysponsored events when the student notifies the instructor and provides appropriate documentation prior to the absence.
Alternate dates for in-class graded work (quizzes and tests) will be arranged in consultation with the instructor for excused
absences. All other absences will be considered unexcused. In these cases, students will not receive credit for missed
classroom work.
Homework and Project Submissions:
Due dates for homework and class projects will be given in advance. Submissions made after the due date will not
receive course credit.
Course Resources:
LETU e-mail
Your LeTourneau University email account is an official avenue for communication. You should check your email daily for
course updates and other helpful information.

Blackboard
This course has a supplementary page at http://online.letu.edu. This allows greater access through email and provides
additional information. The syllabus and other course documents are posted on Blackboard. The course grade book is
also posted and updated periodically. If you do not know your password to access Blackboard, go to www.letu.edu/start
for the necessary information.
Owlet
To improve your writing, visit the OwLet at http://owlet.letu.edu. All students are strongly encouraged, but not required, to
submit their exegesis and position papers to the OwLet. You will need to make your submission several days before the
paper is due in order to receive feedback and make the necessary adjustments. No credit is awarded if your paper is still
at Owlet when it is due.
Achievement Center Services
The Achievement Center exists to promote student success by providing supportive resources for students at no
additional cost. The center offers a number of services for all undergraduate students who would like to improve their
learning skills and academic success at LETU. Services include Supplemental Instruction (SI), Tutoring, Math Lab, Study
Skills Coaches, Round Table Sessions, Peer Advisors (PA), and the AIM (Academic Intervention and Mentoring) Program.
For more information, visit the Achievement Center at www.letu.edu/AchievementCenter or contact Connie Puryear,
Director for Student Achievement, at [email protected] or (903) 233-4470. The Achievement Center is located in
the Student Affairs building next to Glaske.
Students with Disabilities
Students enrolled in an institution of higher education are required to self-identify if they would like to request academic
support services on the basis of a disability. LeTourneau University encourages a student with a disability to self-identify
after admission and to provide required documentation to the Office of Student Support Services (in the Student Affairs
Building). The Office may be reached by calling (903) 233-4450 or by emailing [email protected].
Classroom Policies:
Academic Honesty
A foundation of mutual trust is essential to the learning community. That trust is broken when the standards of right and
wrong that all students and faculty are expected to uphold are violated. Academic dishonesty is a serious breach of trust
within the LeTourneau University community because it violates the regard for truth essential to genuine learning and
Christian consistency. From a broader perspective, it hurts all students and their peers who try to do their work with
integrity and therefore should not be tolerated among peers. Given the serious nature of academic dishonesty, a student
experiencing particular difficulties in a course is encouraged to discuss the problem with the instructor rather than
succumb to the pressure to commit academic dishonesty.
Academic dishonesty is not qualitatively different from other types of dishonesty. It consists of misrepresentation in an
attempt to deceive. In an academic setting, this may take any number of forms such as: Copying or using unauthorized
aids in tests, examinations or laboratory reports. Plagiarism, the submission of work created by someone else as if it were
ones own, use of files, tests, problems, or lab reports from previous classes other than allowed by the faculty member;
looking at an examination paper or answer sheet of another student. Obtaining, before or during the administration of a
test, unauthorized information regarding the test. Possessing or distributing a test or other assignment material before or
during its administration. Cooperating or aiding in any of the above.
Plagiarizing or cheating on an assignment or test will result in a 0 for that assignment. Additional cheating could result in
failure of the course. In the event of plagiarism or cheating your advisor and the VP of Student Affairs will be notified in
writing. Refer to the Student Handbook for the complete LeTourneau University policy on Academic Honesty.
Grievance Policy
If you feel that you have been treated unfairly, or if you have any questions or concerns, please talk to me. I will do
everything in my power to resolve any disagreements or misunderstandings. If you still feel that your rights as a student
have been violated, you can take your grievance to my immediate supervisor, Dr. Larry Anderson. LeTourneau University
Student Handbook contains instructions for Academic Appeals and also for general Student Complaints.
