Course Policy Regarding Academic Dishonesty
Academic integrity is fundamental to the activities and principles of a
university. All members of the academic community must be confident
that each person's work has been responsibly and honorably acquired,
developed, and presented. Any effort to gain an advantage not given to
all students is dishonest whether or not the effort is successful. The
academic community regards breaches of the academic integrity rules as
extremely serious matters. Sanctions for such a breach may include
academic sanctions from the instructor, including failing the course
for any violation, to disciplinary sanctions ranging from probation to
expulsion. When in doubt about plagiarism, paraphrasing, quoting,
collaboration, or any other form of cheating, consult the course
instructor.
Students with ADA Needs
If you need accommodations because of a disability, if you have
emergency medical information to share with me, or if you need special
arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please inform me
immediately. Please see me privately after class, or at my office.
To request academic accommodations (for example, a notetaker), students
must also register with the Office of Disability Services,
(http://disabilityservices.missouri.edu), S5 Memorial Union, 882-4696.
It is the campus office responsible for reviewing documentation
provided by students requesting academic accommodations, and for
accommodations planning in cooperation with students and instructors,
as needed and consistent with course requirements. For other MU
resources for students with disabilities, click on "Disability
Resources" on the MU homepage.
