THIRD: COURSE RULES

ATTENDANCE RULES
Attendance and participation are extremely important, and the usual University rules will apply.
Attendance will be recorded for each class. Absence of 10% will result in a first written warning.
Absence of 15% of the course will result in a second warning. Absence of 20% or more will result in
forfeiting the course and the student will not be permitted to attend the final examination. Should a
student encounter any special circumstances (i.e. medical or personal), he/she is encouraged to discuss
this with the instructor and written proof will be required to delete any absences from his/her
attendance records.

REMARKS
Use of Mobile Devices, Laptops, etc. During Class, unexpected noises and movement automatically
divert and capture people's attention, which means you are affecting everyone’s learning experience
if your cell phone, laptop, etc. makes noise or is visually distracting during class. For this reason,
students are required to turn off their mobile devices and close their laptops during class.

Academic Integrity. Students, who copy assignments, allow assignments to be copied, or cheat on tests
will fail the assignment or test on the first offense, and may fail the entire course on the second.
Plagiarism means using words, ideas, or arguments from another person or source without citation.
Cite all sources consulted to any extent (including material from the internet), whether or not assigned
and whether or not quoted directly.
