                                 ========================================

Special Needs:

 

            If you are a student with a disability, meet with your instructor as soon as possible to discuss the accommodations you will need during class activity, and out of class assignments, in order to participate fully and demonstrate your abilities.

 

Plagiarism:

 

            The student is expected to do his/her own work.  Attempted plagiarism will not only be handled by your instructor, they may also be reported to the office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.  Due process will be initiated, if warranted.  See the "Academic Honesty" section of the 2011-2012 academic catalog of the college, pp. 57-58.

 

Class participation, "excused" absences, and late assignments:

 

            We all acknowledge that there are times when attendance at class might be preempted by more pressing duties.  The obligation of participation remains, however, as does the requirement of turning in all assignments on time. 

            The student is to notify the instructor ahead of time, if possible, of an impending absence.  The instructor is the judge of the appropriateness of the excuse for the absence.

            An assignment turned in late will result in loss of points for the lateness.  An in-class examination that is missed may only be made up if the absence was "excused" and unavoidable.  The request to make up an exam must be made on or before the first day the student returns to class.
