Academic Honesty and Integrity:
The following course policies are for the course sections taught by Bill Thomas. Other Academic
Honesty policies as specified by the college are also enforced as noted in the Pathfinder (on-line
here) or in the college catalog.
Collaboration, copying, plagiarizing, and cheating:
Discussing solutions for an assignment with other students is strongly encouraged. Asking
for help is also highly encouraged. Thus, if you receive any help on an assignment by a
classmate, an assistant or otherwise, give credit within in the assignment to that person! You
may not get full credit for the assignment in the case of substantial help, but your integrity and
accountability is protected.
Turning in work done by others that you claim as your own is not tolerated. Be sure, then,
that the final solution turned in for grading is your own work.
For the first offense of copying, plagiarizing or otherwise cheating, at the discretion of the
instructor a zero will be given for the assignment or the final course grade will be dropped one
full letter grade with no drop privilege.

A subsequent offense on an assignment results in an F for the course with no drop privilege.
Cheating in any manner on a test similarly will result in an F for the course with no drop
privilege.
In all cases the Provost, through the Office of Student Services, is notified of the infraction.
Drop policy:
At the end of the tenth week or the second exam, whichever is later, you may make the
decision to drop and I will permit it with the exception noted below.
Thereafter, the permission to drop will be my decision based on factors such as, but not limited
to, attendance, attempts to do the work, academic integrity.
Attendance Policy:
Attendance is your decision, but you are responsible for the material covered during your
absences. Graded, in class work cannot be made up unless the absence was excused. Please be
aware that the instructor will be less than happy to accommodate assignment and project
extensions or course dropping, or provide individual help on material covered in class when you
have unexcused absences.
In Class Conduct:
Students are expected to be attentive in class. In particular, they are expected to participate in the
lecture/discussion, and NOT use any applications (such as email, chat, Netscape or solitaire). A
general rule of thumb to follow is that the student should not be using a keyboard or mouse during
lecture. I enforce this more for your fellow classmates than anyone else. It can be very annoying to
someone who is trying to listen to a lecture and his or her neighbor is typing away.

completing the assignment, this must include visits with the instructor and the plan for
completing the assignment. This must be uploaded by the assignment due date! If this is
not received then the assignment will not be accepted late.
