etc. If you miss more than one week of class, your final grade for the course, at my discretion, may be lowered .3 for each additional individual absence. Coming to class late (more than 5 minutes after we begin) 3 times will equal one absence. Sleeping in class or engaging in activities not related to class will also be counted as absences. Late Assignments: Late assignments will be lowered one full letter grade for each day past the due date (the first reduction occurs at the start of the class in which the assignment is due). Academic Honesty:
Michigan State University has adopted the following statement about academic policy: GENERAL STUDENT REGULATIONS 1.00 PROTECTION OF SCHOLARSHIP AND GRADES The principles of truth and honesty are fundamental to the educational process and the academic integrity of the University; therefore, no student shall: 1.01 claim or submit the academic work of another as ones own. 1.02 procure, provide, accept or use any materials containing questions or answers to any examination or assignment without proper authorization. 1.03 complete or attempt to complete any assignment or examination for another individual without proper authorization. 1.04 allow any examination or assignment to be completed for oneself, in part or in total, by another without proper authorization. 1.05 alter, tamper with, appropriate, destroy or otherwise interfere with the research, resources, or other academic work of another person. 1.06 fabricate or falsify data or results. Procedures for responding to cases of academic honesty and possible repercussions are outlined in Spartan Life: Student Handbook and Resource Guide. They can also be found on the web at: http://www.msu.edu/unit/ombud/honestylinks.html. Note: the new procedures require that instances of academic dishonesty be reported through the registrars office and forwarded to the Dean of the College in which the students major resides.
Major Assignments: There are three major grades in this course: the set of 10 course modules, the personal portfolio, and the final project. The schedule at the end of this syllabus outlines the progression of and due dates for these major assignments. Grade distribution occurs as follows: Course Modules (10): Personal Portfolio: Final Project: Grading Scale: 90% - 100% 85% - 89.9% 80% - 84.9% 75% - 79.9% 70% - 74.9% 65% - 69.9% 60% - 64.9% 59.9% and below = 4.0 = 3.5 = 3.0 = 2.5 = 2.0 = 1.5 = 1.0 = 0.0 40% 20% 40%
