Late Papers: Because of grading problems created by late papers and the issue of fairness to students who turn papers in on time, there is a 10% penalty for each day late including holidays and week ends.
Plagiarism: The penalty for academic dishonesty is failure on the piece of work. Repeated offences may result in failure in the course.
Absences: Attendance
is not taken in class, but you are responsible for lecture and text
material. Class notes should be obtained
from a fellow student if a lecture is missed. The professor does
not copy notes, please get the notes from someone who attended class so
you have a record of what was actually covered. If you are ill or
have a family emergency and will miss an examination if at all
possible, please call the instructor BEFORE the absence so arrangements
can be made to make up the test. At least leave voice mail at
994 6906 or e-mail at scuster@montana.edu stating what has happened.
