COURSE POLICIES AND MANAGEMENT

1. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY

Academic integrity is the guiding principle for all students, faculty and staff that require them to
recognize and acknowledge information derived from others and take credit only for ideas and work
that are their own. You violate the principle of academic integrity when you: cheat on an exam or help
another to cheat, plagiarize, or submit the same work for two different courses without prior permission
from teachers. Plagiarism is a grave form of academic dishonesty, whether intended or not. Plagiarism
is failure to properly assign authorship to a paper, a document, an oral presentation, assignment,
research, project and/or other materials, which are not your original work.

In case of academic dishonesty, the teacher will meet with the student to discuss, and present
evidence for the particular violation, giving the student opportunity to refute or deny the charge(s). If
the teacher confirms the violation(s), he/she, in consultation with the Department Chair, may take any
of the following actions: allow the student to redo the assignment, lower the grade for the work in
question, assign a grade of F for the work in question, assign a grade of F for the course. Students
caught cheating will get zero (0) in that particular exam. In serious academic fraud, the teacher may
recommend dismissal or appropriate sanction that will be deliberated by the Student Disciplinary Board.

2. ATTENDANCE
 COURSE SYLLABUS IN ETHICS

•An absence from class whether personal or official is still to be recorded as an absence. Tardiness
beyond fifteen (15) minutes is considered as an absence. However, three (3) instances of being late,
