Academic
Dishonesty
Academic dishonesty includes practices such as plagiarism, cheating on tests,
examinations and assignments. Academic dishonesty may result in the
suspension of online privileges.
Plagiarism
When you borrow another writer's words and/ or ideas and include them in
your work, you must acknowledge this whether it is a direct quotation or a
restatement of an idea. Failure to do so is a form of academic dishonesty
known as plagiarism and will result in a mark of zero for the work
submitted.
Late Policy
All assignments have been given a due date. Please review "Module
Titles and Assignment Due Dates" in this document. If you know that
you will not be able to meet a given due date, contact your teacher in
advance of the final deadline to request an extension. Once the final
deadline has arrived, extensions will be granted for extenuating
circumstances only.
Reporting
Students will receive two formal reports. One will be issued mid-semester
and the other after the final examination.
