CLASS POLICIES
You are expected to attend every class. If you must miss a class, it is your responsibility to obtain lecture notes, assignments, and handouts from your colleagues. If you miss a class on the day an assignment is due and therefore fail to turn in the assignment on time, the assignment will be considered late and subject to penalty.
All graded work for this course is to be done individually unless specifically described as a group assignment. Cheating occurs when a student either submits work for grade that is not his/her own or when a student is receives credit on a group assignment when he/she has not contributed to the group effort. If a team member does not participate on a particular assignment, his/her name should be excluded from the submitted assignment. A student observing the potential for cheating to occur beyond his/her control should report this potential to the instructor to avoid penalty. Cheating on an assignment will result in a lower grade for that assignment. Cheating on an exam will result in a failing grade for the course.
Plagiarism is cheating. Quoting from page 21 of the NIU 2005-2006 Graduate Catalog, “Students are guilty of plagiarism, intentional or not, if they copy material from books, magazines, or other sources [including the World Wide Web] without identifying and acknowledging those sources or if they paraphrase ideas from such sources without acknowledging them.”
