CLASS NOTES AND HANDOUTS

Additional class notes, study material, research papers, homework assignments, and general

course information will be distributed or presented at the start of each class period. It is the

students' responsibility to obtain a copy of these materials or information, from either a fellow

student or directly from the instructor, if for some reason they are absent from class.

POLICIES

COLLABORATION, PLAGIARISM AND CHEATING

Collaboration is encouraged, but duplication of work and group solutions for individual

homework, quizzes, mid-term exam, and final exam is considered plagiarism and cheating and

disciplinary action will exercised according to the School Policies. Zero credit will be given for

work that is identified as being copied or plagiarized with no reference made to the original

source. Copying of homeworks from one student to another is strictly prohibited.

The line between collaboration and plagiarism and cheating is not clear. A simple guideline to

use is when you discuss your work with other students, be sure to record your answer without

any collaboration. Plagiarism and cheating is most obvious when a student is asked to explain

their answer and two students turn in responses with the same awkward sentence structure or thesame grammatical errors. Similarly, identical diagrams and identical layouts of solution

procedures, solutions with missing steps or poorly arranged work also point to cheating.

DISCLAIMER

The instructor reserves the right to change and adjust the policies at any time before or during the

Academic term.
