Schedule / Syllabus Change As your instructor, I retain the right to make changes to the schedule or syllabus based on the timeline of the class, feedback from learners and / or logistical issues and will inform you as soon as a change is made. B. Academic Misconduct: Academic misconduct will not be tolerated. All suspected incidents of academic misconduct would be considered using the university s Student Discipline Code, Chapter 14. As such, if I conclude that academic misconduct has occurred, I will proceed to impose a disciplinary sanction. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, the following examples: Submitting work as one s own when all or a part of the work is that of another individual (i.e. plagiarism). One way to think of academic writing is that it generally asks you to effectively use what you have learned, while also giving credit to the specific place where it was learned. Whether from a book, magazine, or web site, you must properly cite (i.e. give credit) for the material that was considered and used when you prepared your writing. Utilizing work that has been prepared for another course or for another purpose, and submitting that work to fulfill an assignment in this course Cheating on a quiz or an exam Collaborating with others on assigned individual work Tampering with the work of another individual Page 2
