Course Policies:

1. Academic Honesty Policy – dishonesty in academics include representing the work of

another as one’s own or cheating by any means. Academic honesty policy requires all the
students to avoid any activity that supports dishonesty of any kind. The usual penalty is an
F in the course and disciplinary action by the University.
2. Grade Appeals Policy – It is the students’ responsibility to keep all graded materials that
have been returned. Grades will be assumed to be accurate unless you can prove otherwise.
Any student wishing to appeal a grade must submit a written appeal indicating the specific
section the student is requesting a re-grade of and a complete explanation (rationale) of
why the student feels they deserve a different grade.
3. Open Door Policy – I have an open office door policy. I encourage students to come to
my office with any questions or concerns. I do not mind if students stop by without an
appointment. If my doors open, come on in. Students who are having difficulty
understanding the course material should visit me for additional help in the course.
4. Email –If you need to contact me email is the best way to do so. I try to respond to email
very quickly.
