Attendance

Just like in the workplace, you will be expected to come to class every, however
attendance will not be taken.

Use of Electronic Devices

Use of cell phones during class will not be permitted. You may use a laptop to
follow the slides or to take notes. Any unauthorized use of electronic devices,
including laptops during class will not be acceptable and may result in a reduction in
your final grade.

Professionalism

Class will start promptly at 11:45 and you are expected to be in your seat and ready
to start. This is a very large class and it is imperative that every student behaves
professionally during the class. Examples of unprofessional behavior include:

 Consistently coming to class late, leaving early, or leaving the classroom for
extended periods of time;
 Using unauthorized electronic devices during class;
 Talking to fellow students outside of the context of the class discussion;
 Sleeping;
 Doing coursework unrelated to this class;
 Being rude or argumentative

Academic Integrity

Each student will be held to the standards of the Code of Student Conduct and the
Honor Code. Plagiarism, cheating, and other misconduct will be pursued as
appropriate. Downloading or use of material from an on-line site without proper
citation is considered plagiarism. Academic dishonesty may result in an automatic
failing grade for the course.

Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with verifiable disabilities.

The ADA is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides civil rights
protections for persons with disabilities. If you believe you have a disability
requiring an accommodation, please contact Disability Services for Students at 919-
