Behavioral expectations

• Universal

  • No disruptive behavior is tolerated

    • People who want to chat/game/text/talk/eat/drink will do so outside

    • This is not an exhaustive list of disruptive behavior!

    • Report disruptive students to me if I cannot see

  • No disrespectful behavior is tolerated

  • No (academic) dishonesty is tolerated

    • What is academic dishonesty?

      • See this link for a more complete explanation

      • In summary, cheating is any deceptive attempt to make any enrolled student's grade/score appear higher than what should be earned according to the said student's own capabilities. I do not give an exhaustive list of ways to cheat here.

    • What happens when it occurs?

      • The occurrence will be documented

      • The documentation will be sent to the discipline officer

      • The discipline officer will determine the appropriate action in addition to the following:

      • The involved submission (assignment, quiz, exam or etc.) will receive a maximum score of 0 (zero) points.

      • A discovery of academic dishonesty may trigger re-investigations of prior submitted work. Any prior work newly discovered/confirmed as results of academic dishonesty will be retroactively processed. This means points of such work will be deducted.

• In class (face-to-face)

  • No phone, no drink, no food and no kid

  • Raise hand and wait for acknowledgment before asking and answering questions

• Attendence

  • R-2222: I will drop students who miss the first class session.

  • R-2222: I will drop students with 6% or more (considered excessive) unexcused absence.

  • R-2222: I will drop students who do not attend all of the first two (for classes that meet once per week) or three (for classes that meet more than once per week) class sessions.

  • I am only required to accept verified military duty, jury duty and medical reasons as excused absences. All other absences may or may not be excused at my discretion.

  • The campus health center can verify medical excuses, and it is free.

• Online

  • All students are expected to check email at least once per day

  • Email should be sent with the following information:

      • Nature (e.g., “due date of assignment 4”)
