ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS: As stated in the Wayland Catalog, students enrolled at one of the University s external campuses should make every effort to attend all class meetings. All absences must be explained to the instructor, who will then determine whether the omitted work may be made up. When a student reaches that number of absences considered by the instructor to be excessive, the instructor will so advise the student and file an unsatisfactory progress report with the campus executive director. Any student who misses 25 percent or more of the regularly scheduled class meetings may receive a grade of F in the course. Additional attendance policies for each course, as defined by the instructor in the course syllabus, are considered a part of the University s attendance policy. WBU-Hawaii campus addendum: All Wayland students are expected to attend every class meeting; the minimum percentage of class participation required to avoid receiving a grade of F in the class is 75%. Students who miss the first two class meetings without providing a
written explanation to the instructor will be automatically dropped from the roster as a noshow. Students who know in advance that they will be absent the first two class meetings and who wish to remain in the class must inform the instructor to discuss possible arrangements for making up absences. 14. STATEMENT ON PLAGIARISM & ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Wayland Baptist University observes a zero-tolerance policy regarding academic dishonesty. Per university policy as described below, all cases of academic dishonesty will be reported, and second offenses will result in suspension from the university. Wayland Baptist University Statement on Plagiarism and Academic Dishonesty Writing is a collaborative art. Working out ideas for your paper with an instructor, writing tutor, classmate, family member, or friend is encouraged not only for this class, but also for other classes that involve writing. Discussion and collaborative brainstorming are good. However, passing off another's writing or ideas as your own is plagiarism. It is unethical, it constitutes Academic Dishonesty (cheating), and it is sufficient grounds both for failure of a course and suspension from the university. Common examples of plagiarism or academic dishonesty include the following: Copying any amount of text directly from an internet website, book, or other document without appropriate citation and synthesis into one s own discussion. Paraphrasing the ideas presented in any source or oral discussion without appropriate citation. Using the evidence and conclusions of any source as the controlling framework for one s own paper. Recycling work from a previous or current course, whether your own work or another student s work. Purchasing or otherwise downloading a paper from an internet website. In some writing assignments, you will be expected to incorporate scholarly sources into your document. ALL OF THE FOLLOWING must be met to constitute appropriate citation of any source: Including MLA, Chicago, or APA parenthetical or note-style citation format as required by the instructor. Placing borrowed text directly from another source within quotation marks. Introducing clearly another author s voice into the document by means of a signal phrase (an introduction of that author). Offering, in short, a clear distinction between one s own voice or ideas and those of any outside authors brought into the discussion. Wayland Baptist University observes a ZERO TOLERANCE policy regarding Academic Dishonesty. Any suspected instance of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism, will first be evaluated by the instructor, and discussed individually with the student. If the instructor determines that a student s actions constitute Academic Dishonesty, the case will be filed with the dean of the School of Languages and Literature and reported to the university executive vice president/provost, as per university policy. Per university policy, second offenses RESULT IN SUSPENSION FROM THE UNIVERSITY.
In this course, the first instance of Academic Dishonesty may also result in a zero on the assignment. 15.

The Coordinator of Counseling Services serves as the coordinator of students with a disability and should be contacted concerning accommodation requests at (806) 291-3765.
