2.1 Track Student Participation for Financial Aid Requirement
As of Spring 2015, all faculty are required to document students’ academic activity at the
beginning of each course. In order to document that you began this course, please complete
the following academic activity by the end of the first week of classes or as soon as possible
after adding the course, but no later than August 28, 2017. Failure to do so may result in a delay

No makeup exams will be given under any circumstances! The final exam grade may replace the
lowest grade of the first and second exams. If you have to miss the final exam (for whatever
reason), you will receive a grade of “0”.
2.1.1.1 Allowed Exam Material
Exams will be online and open book. Given this, I can assure you time will be of the essence and
hence being extremely well prepared is the best way to ensure a good grade. It is also
recommended that you have a good calculator on hand.
2.1.1.2 Special Need Students
Given the requirement for testing, the student will receive the requisite additional time for the
exams.
Students with special needs and require special accommodations must be registered with UCF
Student Disability Services prior to receiving those accommodations. Students must have
documented disabilities requiring the special accommodations and must meet with the
instructor to discuss the special needs as early as possible in the first week of classes. The
Student Disability Services is located at Ferrell Commons, 7F, Room 185, phone (407) 823-2371,
TTY/TDD only phone (407) 823-2116 and more information can be found at
http://www.sds.sdes.ucf.edu.
2.1.2 Homework (TBD - 10%)
Homework is due one week from the assignment date. Homework problems will be posted on
the course website with associated due dates. Homework is to be turned in by the start of class
online. No late homework will be accepted.
Students can discuss the homework assignments, but every student must complete and turn in
his/her own written solutions in his/her own words. Homework is meant to be a learning tool. If
you are having difficulty, find help right away – don’t wait until you fall even further behind!
Good sources of help are fellow students, teaching assistant and your instructor. If we detect
that two or more workout the problems all the way through, it will be considered cheating. The
penalty can be from zero credit for the particular assignment to F for the class.
2.1.3 Quizzes (10%)
There will be a quiz assigned on the Thursday 12:00AM after each module is completed and due
Saturday 11:59PM of the same week. The purpose of the quiz is to reinforce leaning and
supplement the homework’s and in class material.

3 HONOR CODE
Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated in this course. Any assistance on any assignment
from any source, beside yourself, must be referenced in your report. Students may not share a
calculator, an eraser, etc. during a quiz or an exam. All incidents of academic dishonesty will be
dealt with according to the policies and procedures in The Golden Rule
www.ucf.edu/goldenrule.
Plagiarism and Cheating of any kind on an examination, quiz, or assignment will result at
least in an "F" for that assignment (and may, depending on the severity of the case, lead to an
"F" for the entire course) and may be subject to appropriate referral to the Office of Student
Conduct for further action. See the UCF Golden Rule for further information. I will assume for
this course that you will adhere to the academic creed of this University and will maintain the
highest standards of academic integrity. In other words, don't cheat by giving answers to others
or taking them from anyone else. I will also adhere to the highest standards of academic
integrity, so please do not ask me to change (or expect me to change) your grade illegitimately
or to bend or break rules for one person that will not apply to everyone.
3.1 UCF Policy
Many incidents of plagiarism result from students’ lack of understanding about what constitutes
plagiarism. However, you are expected to familiarize yourself with UCF’s policy on plagiarism. All
work you submit must be your own scholarly and creative efforts. UCF’s Golden Rule defines
plagiarism as follows: “whereby another’s work is used or appropriated without any indication
of the source, thereby attempting to convey the impression that such work is the student’s
own.”
In this course we may utilize turnitin.com, an automated system which instructors can use to quickly and easily compare each student's assignment with billions of web sites, as well as an enormous database of student papers that grows with each submission. Accordingly, you may be expected to submit assignments in both hard copy and electronic format. After the assignment is processed, as an instructor I receive a report from turnitin.com that states if and how another author’s work was used in the assignment. For a more detailed look at this process, visit http://www.turnitin.com.
3.2 Personal policy
If cheating or plagiarism (see definitions in the Golden Rule) is detected, even straight A's in the
rest of the class would allow you at best a C in the course, most likely an F. I may ask the
involved students to withdraw from my course and not ever enrolled again in a course with me.
Of course, the students have the right to appeal but I have the right to pursue the case and ask
that they be expelled from UCF.

3.3 Z Designation
UCF faculty members have a responsibility for your education and the value of a UCF degree,
and so seek to prevent unethical behavior and when necessary respond to infringements of
academic integrity. Penalties can include a failing grade in an assignment or in the course,
suspension or expulsion from the university, and/or a "Z Designation" on a student's official
transcript indicating academic dishonesty, where the final grade for this course will be preceded
by the letter Z. For more information about the Z Designation, see http://z.ucf.edu.
