Testing and Grading
Students who do not complete the first assignment or otherwise contact the instructor will be dropped from the course, and will receive an F in the course. It is up to you to withdraw to not receive an F grade.
- For refund deadlines, drop deadlines, and other important dates, check the Academic Calendar.

Academic Integrity
Students who submit the work of others as their own or cheat on exams or other assignments will receive a failing grade in the course and will be reported to college authorities. In this regard I have a very easy method of checking papers copied in part from web sources w/o attribution, and I fail students who do this. There is no reason not to document your work, and the use of outside sources for research is imperative. I am confident that you will do the right thing.
