Roll will be taken for a random selection of classes and attendance is a major factor in the grading. Any student who has more than two unexcused absences during the semester will fail the course.
Groups of 3-4 students will prepare a presentation and written report on a topic of their choice related to the subjects covered in this class. Each student will participate in their group's presentation and will be responsible for the corresponding part of the written report, but is expected to be knowedable about all aspects of the project. Each student's contribution will be clearly identified.
First offense in any course: Zero on the paper or exam being graded and a permanent entry describing the cheating entered into the student's file.
Second offense in any course: F in the course grade, a permanent entry describing the cheating entered into the student's file, and referal of the cheating to Student Judicial Affairs.
