Documented breach of academic integrity will result in failure on
the piece
of work. Repeated offenses will result in course failure.
Disagreements regarding grading: If, after looking at the key, you believe any written product has been miss scored, you may submit your test and a brief written defense of why you believe your work has been miss marked.
Late Papers: Because of grading problems created by late papers, 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.
Turn off and stash your
cell phone during all exams – anyone caught with their cell phone
out and on during an exam will
receive an automatic
failing grade on the exam (out and on = F).
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. 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.
