SPECIAL REMARKS:

 

Homework:

Homework will be assigned and evaluated as determined by the instructor.

 

Cheating:

If cheating occurs, it will result in academic and possible disciplinary sanctions being taken against the student.  The Academic Dishonesty Adjudication Process, as outlined in the Student Handbook, will be followed.  Academic sanctions will include receiving a zero for the assignment or exam and any other sanctions determined by the instructor. 

 

Attendance:

Attendance will be taken and students may be dropped when they have missed 20% of the total class time (12 hours).  Missed exams will result in a zero unless prior arrangements have been made.

 

Conduct:

Professional and courteous behavior is expected at all times.  Disruptive behavior is unacceptable in the classroom and may result in the student’s temporary or permanent removal from the course.

 

Assistance:

Help is available outside of the classroom from your instructor, in the Learning Center Math Lab, or the Pro Shop.

9.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:

 

The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity.  Therefore, Pueblo Community College has adopted a policy of academic conduct as described in the Student Handbook.  Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the following:  cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation.  It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty.  Sanctions for violating the standards of academic integrity may include warning, probation, suspension, and/or failure of the course or assignment at the discretion of the instructor.  Cheating on any mathematics assignment or exam will result in a minimum sanction of receiving a zero for that assignment or exam.  Additional sanctions may be included at the discretion of the instructor.
