| Policy on Errors in Marking Homework or Exams: Students are encouraged to check the marking of all work they hand in. If there are any questions about how an item was marked or how many points were taken off, the issue should be brought to the instructor to be resolved. There will always be errors in marking: this is unavoidable. It is the student�s responsibility to catch such errors and report them.
Late Homework Policy: Homework will be assigned with a �due date�. You may always hand your homework one class later. A homework assignment will still be accepted for marking the day it is handed back from the marker, but no later. If your homework is not handed in on time (for whatever reason) speak to the instructor about an alternate (make up) assignment. If the need arises, students may complete at most two of these �make up� assignments during the course. Homework that is not handed in on time and is note completed by a �make up� assignment will receive a mark of zero. Missed Midterm Policy: If the Midterm exam is missed (for whatever reason), see the instructor. There are various remedies for this situation. There will be a �Make Up Midterm� that counts as the Midterm.. If the instructor and student agree that the Make Up Midterm should not be used as the Midterm mark, for whatever reason, then the student may take the �Make Up Midterm� anyway. Although it will not actually �count� towards the final mark, it will give the student the experience of writing the midterm and having it marked for feedback. Some students would prefer to have the final exam (or selected items from the final exam) count as the midterm. These are possibilities that the instructor will discuss with each student who approaches him after missing the midterm. Policy on missed Final Examination: If a student misses the final examination, it is the student�s responsibility to contact the Registrar�s Office to determine the resolution of that problem. The professor must deal through the Registrar with any student missing a final exam for whatever reason. Policy on the use of language: Correct use of language is one of the criteria included in the evaluation of all written assignments. Quality of expression in writing will count for at least 20% of all written work. This includes: 1) proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar, and 2) correct usage and a direct logical style . Policy on Plagiarism and Cheating: Students are reminded that the University regulations on Plagiarism and Cheating will be strictly enforced. These regulations are posted on departmental bulletin boards and information is also available from your professor. Professor's Statement on "from sources or in a manner disallowed": All materials presented for evaluation, including homework, papers, quizzes, tests, and examinations, must be solely the work of the student presenting these materials. If books, notes, or calculators are to be allowed for use in an examination, the professor will announce this prior to the exam and comment, in writing, on the exam paper that this is the case. |
