CLASS ATTENDANCE: Class
attendance is the responsibility of the student, and it is the student's
responsibility to independently cover any materials missed. Class attendance
and participation may also be used in determining grades. It is your
responsibility to sign a roll sheet for every class meeting. At my discretion,
I may drop you from the course for more than six (6) absences.
Missing an exam or quiz is considered an absence. Missed classes caused by
participation in documented, formal, University-sponsored events will not count
as absences provided you notify me of such anticipated absences in advance and
as soon as possible.
You are responsible for all class work missed, regardless of the reason for the absence(s). Late assignments will not be accepted, so if you are absent on the day an assignment is due, it is your responsibility to make alternate arrangements. No makeup exams or quizzes will be given, so please make sure you are present for all exams/quizzes. Refer to the CSU Catalog (http://ace.columbusstate.edu/advising/a.php#AttendancePolicy) for more information on class attendance and withdrawal.
Academic dishonesty For assignments, access to notes, textbook, books and other publications is allowed. Stealing, giving or receiving any code, diagrams, drawings, text or designs from another person (CSU or non-CSU) is not allowed. Having access to another person’s work on the system or giving access to your work to another person is not allowed. It is your responsibility to keep your work confidential. No cheating in any form will be tolerated. The penalty for the first occurrence of academic dishonesty is a zero grade on the assignment or exam/quiz; the penalty for the second occurrence is a failing grade for the course. For exams/quizzes, access to any type of written material or discussion of any kind (except with me) is not allowed.
