A tentative class schedule will be maintained on the class’ public website,
accessible via the instructors’ homepage.
It is advised that the refresh/reload button is clicked upon each visit
to a class page to ensure that the most recent version of the page is
displayed. The schedule is subject to
change throughout the semester to accommodate and adjust for the progress of
the class, unforeseen events, etc. Check
for modifications frequently. This is
the student’s responsibility.
Regular class attendance is very
important. Class participation requires
that students be present. Class
discussions and group activities that take place during class cannot be made
up. If you do miss a class, it is your
responsibility to notify the instructor in advance, to contact class members to
find out what occurred in that class and to make up that work, and then to
check with your instructor for any additional assignments. For computer work, it is your responsibility
to check for compatibility if you wish to use computers other than those
provided in the lab. If you have any
questions, contact your instructor. No
make-up exams will be given.
Students requesting accommodations for disabilities must go through the Academic Support Committee. For more information, please contact Disability Resources & Services, Halladay Student Services Bldg., Room 303D, Frank Perez 903-886-5835 or Phyllis Fink 903-886-5150
All students enrolled at the
University shall follow the tenets of common decency and acceptable behavior
conducive to a positive learning environment (see Student’s Guide Handbook,
Policies and Procedures, Conduct).
The classroom is NOT the place to
make and receive personal phone calls.
This distractive activity is extremely disrespectful of the instructor
and other students and is disruptive to the classroom environment. Cell phones may not be used during class and
should be turned OFF upon entering the classroom. Emergency exceptions must be approved by the instructor
prior to the beginning of class.
Violation will result in significant loss of participation credit.
All works submitted for credit must be original works created by the scholar uniquely for the class. Plagiarism: Using works created by others without proper citation is not tolerated and may result in expulsion from the course and the graduate program. Auto-plagiarism: It is considered inappropriate and unethical, particularly at the graduate level, to make duplicate submissions of a single work for credit in multiple classes, unless specifically requested by the instructor. Work submitted at the Graduate level is expected to demonstrate higher order thinking skills and be of significantly higher quality than work produced at the undergraduate level. Writings must exhibit correct form, style, and grammar and demonstrate the student’s ability to communicate clearly and effectively in the English language. (Also see Student’s Guide Handbook, Policies and Procedures.)
