Plagiarism | Copying or plagiarism of any type will not be tolerated and
will be dealt with in accordance to Kent State University's policy on
cheating and plagiarism described in the student handbook.
STUDENT CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM (Condensed Version) For complete policy and procedure go to http://www.kent.edu/policyreg/chap3/3-01-8.cfm Cheating and plagiarism constitute fraudulent misrepresentation for which no credit can be given and for which appropriate sanctions are warranted and will be applied. The university affirms that acts of cheating and plagiarism by students constitute a subversion of the goals of the institution, have no place in the university and are serious offenses to academic goals and objectives, as well as to the rights of fellow students. "Cheat" means to intentionally misrepresent the source, nature, or other conditions of academic work so as to accrue undeserved credit, or to cooperate with someone else in such misrepresentation. Cheating includes, but is not limited to:
"Plagiarize" means to take and present as one's own a material portion of the ideas or words of another or to present as one's own an idea or work derived from an existing source without full and proper credit to the source of the ideas, words, or works. As defined, plagiarize includes, but is not limited to:
Academic Sanctions, from Section D The following academic sanctions are provided by this rule for offenses of cheating or plagiarism. Kent campus instructors shall notify the department chairperson and the student conduct office each time a sanction is imposed. Regional campus instructors shall notify the regional campus dean and the student conduct officer each time a sanction is imposed. Regional campus student conduct officer shall notify the Kent student conduct office each time a sanction is imposed by a regional campus Instructor. The following academic sanctions are provided by this rule for offenses of cheating or plagiarism. In those cases the instructor may:
Procedures for Invoking Sanctions, from Section E (1)Academic administrative procedures pertaining to paragraph (D)(1)(a) of this rule. In the event that an instructor determines that it is more probable than not that a student in a course or program under the instructor's supervision has presented work for university credit which involves an act of cheating, plagiarism or cooperation in either, then the instructor shall:
Academic Appeals The general principle that applies to the following procedures is that an appeal is directed to the administrative level immediately above the unit from which the appeal emanates. Appeals are limited to the following reasons:
Statement of ACADEMIC INTEGRITY, From Mary Ann Haley University policy 3342-3-01.8 deals with the problem of academic dishonesty, cheating, and plagiarism. None of these will be tolerated in this class. The sanctions provided in this policy will be used to deal with any violations. If you have any questions, please read the policy at http://www.kent.edu/policyreg/chap3/3-01-8.cfm and/or ask. During the first lecture I specifically address this issue and make reference to the entire policy statement, highlighting the major points. Additional Notes Students may discuss the programming assignments with each other however each student must write her/his own program. It is not permitted to copy, in any manner, assignment related material (except material provided by the instructor). You should understand and be able to explain any part of any assignment you turn in. You should read the Department's policy on this issue: |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Policies | Attendance is necessary and expected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
It is up to the student to make up any missed material. If class is missed it is best to get notes from a fellow student (who has taken good notes). This will be the best record of what transpired during the class meeting. Sometimes, in response to questions or as seems beneficial, further explanation will spontaneously be created by the instructor and written on the board. The instructor may retain no written record of this. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Read the text. Only general reading assignments will be given. The class will mostly cover material in the same order as the text book, there may be exceptions however. It is the student's responsibility to maintain an awareness of the material in the text that is currently being covered. Ask the instructor if you are unsure of the text material currently being covered. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
All handwritten work must be legible to the instructor. This includes not writing using tiny characters. Illegible work will not be graded and the points will be lost. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There is no extra credit. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comments | This is a computer programming course. Computer programming is best learned by writing computer programs. You will need to spend time at the computer writing programs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Start work on a programming assignment as soon as possible after it is given. This will allow you to discover things that aren't clear to you and ask questions about them. It is hard to write a program quickly at the last minute, it is highly recommended to avoid this situation. Also, unforseen circumstances can occur. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Please turn off any phones, beepers, or other noise making device before class begins. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
If you need to leave class early please inform the instructor before class begins and, if possible, sit near the door. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The syllabus during may be modified during the semester if it is necessary. The changes will be added in blue and pointed out in class. Any changes will be for clarification, the grade calculation as described above, is fixed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
See my web pages (www address above) for additional information, handouts, programming assignments, etc. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Final Note | If you have any problems, including understanding the material that we cover in class or using the computer, please talk to me. |
