ATTENDANCE RULES
Attendance and participation are extremely important, and the usual University rules will
apply. Attendance will be recorded for each class. Absence of 10% will result in a first
written warning. Absence of 15% of the course will result in a second warning. Absence of
20% or more will result in forfeiting the course and the student will not be permitted to

REMARKS
Use of Mobile Devices, Laptops, etc. During Class, unexpected noises and movement
automatically divert and capture people's attention, which means you are affecting
everyone’s learning experience if your cell phone, laptop, etc. makes noise or is visually
distracting during class. For this reason, students are required to turn off their mobile
devices and close their laptops during class.
Academic Integrity. Students, who copy assignments, allow assignments to be copied, or

cheat on tests will fail the assignment or test on the first offense, and may fail the entire
course on the second.
Plagiarism means using words, ideas, or arguments from another person or source
without citation. Cite all sources consulted to any extent (including material from the
internet), whether or not assigned and whether or not quoted directly.
