6 Academic Integrity: Class Attendance Purdue University policy states that all students are expected to be present for every meeting of classes in which they are enrolled. All matters relative to attendance, including the make-up of missed work, are to be arranged between you and the instructor involved. Only the instructor can excuse you from classes or course responsibilities. If a student will be absent for more than five days, has not been able to reach the instructor in person or by telephone, or through leaving notification of the student s circumstances with the instructor s secretary, the student or the student s representative should notify the Office of the Dean of Students ( ) as soon as possible. Be advised, the student, or the student s representative may be asked by the instructor to provide documentation from an authorized professional or agency to support the absence. If you have to miss a class, talk with the instructor about missed notes or borrow class notes from another student in the class and try to review them with the instructor or the teaching assistant. Assignments, Quizzes, Exams All work must be done individually. There are no group projects, quizzes or exams in this course. NO assignment or open-ended quiz or exam question should mimic another. Purdue University values intellectual integrity and the highest standards of academic conduct. Purdue prohibits dishonesty in connection with any University activity. Cheating, plagiarism, or knowingly furnishing false information to the University are examples of dishonesty. (University Regulations, Part 5, Section III, B, 2, a) Furthermore, the University Senate has stipulated that the commitment of acts of cheating, lying, and deceit in any of their diverse forms (such as the use of substitutes for taking examinations, the use of illegal cribs, plagiarism, and copying during examinations) is dishonest and must not be tolerated. Moreover, knowingly to aid and abet, directly or indirectly, other parties in committing dishonest acts is in itself dishonest. (University Senate Document 72-18, December 15, 1972). Additional information concerning Academic Integrity may be found in the online brochure, Academic Integrity: A Guide for Students, from the Dean of Students office. Statement of Policy Concerning Prejudice: In this class, as in the entire University, NO form of prejudice will be tolerated. If you believe that there is prejudice in any form in this class, you should discuss your concerns with any of the following: 1) a course instructor, 2) another trusted professor, 3) a counselor in HHS, or 4) a counselor in the Office of the Dean of Students.
