Academic Dishonesty Policy
http://www.wiu.edu/policies/acintegrity.php

All assignments are due during the class period on the
assigned dates. Assignments are NOT accepted after
their due date.

Be respectful of your instructor and fellow classmates at
all times.






As a courtesy, please do not talk, type, or print
while the instructor is talking to the class or when
a student is asking a question which pertains to
the class.

Refrain from surfing the Web during class, unless
directed by your instructor.

Set cell phones to vibrate or turn off.

Refrain from bringing food and drink into the lab.

Copied assignments, obtained either from another
student or from other sources such as the Internet,
will not be tolerated and will result in the
completion of an academic integrity incident
report. Each incident, if found to be valid, shall
result in a zero score for the whole assignment for
both the supplier and the recipient. Do not
give/accept a paper or electronic solution of an
individual assignment to/from another student.
Copying on an exam will also result in a zero score
for the exam.
In accordance with University policy and the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), academic
accommodations may be made for any student
who notifies me of the need for an
accommodation. It is imperative that you take the
initiative to bring such needs to my attention, as I
am not legally permitted to inquire about such
particular needs of students. Contact Disability
Support Services at 298-2512 for additional
services.
