See page 42 of Student Guide and Datebook on
absenteeism. Official class field trips or sports
events are excused--please turn in announcement
letters asap. See new version of Honor Code printed this
summer; Q and A also new; and your Student Date and
Guide Book. I will follow the ideas promoted and
voted upon by students last semester. The Honor Pledge is required on all assignments
and exams. "I have neither given nor received
unauthorized aid on this piece of work, nor have I
knowingly tolerated any violation of the Honor
Code." If you observe any violations of the Honor Code
in this course, you may report it to me, to student
members of the Honor and Conduct Board, or Faculty
Advisor. Any reported to me will be handled as
voted on by the student body. I will turn
information over to the Provost. The Provost will
evaluate the information and refer the case to the
Honor and Conduct Board if a hearing is
warranted. I will uphold and adhere to the decisions of the
Honor and Conduct Board. I will do whatever I can to eliminate temptation
during in-class exams. If this includes proctoring
exams, I will do so. If it is necessary to schedule
a special, larger testing room for exams, we will
do that too. Format is in-class mixed multiple choice, true
and false, but mostly short answer and short essay
and 'problem' solving. Problem solving will often
involve life cycle diagrams or some visual format.
Comprehensive portion of final will draw heavily
from previous exams. Keep them as study
guides. Notice that there are points possible for
discussion. You will be evaluated in two different
types of discussions, in-class and on-line. If you
do not have web access, please let me know asap. I
will present study questions throughout the
semester for you to prepare for exams. These will
also be the basis for discussion. Evaluation sheets
will be distributed. |
