Expectations

PSY300 - General Principles of Psychology

What I Expect from Students:

Just as in a regular face-to-face class, I expect that you will adhere to standards of courtesy, professionalism, and academic honesty.

Courtesy:

I  expect that everyone will participate in the class with courtesy and consideration for each other and for the instructor.  Your e-mails and web postings should be on the topic at hand, should be appropriate and should reflect a professional demeanor.   Inappropriate behavior includes but is not limited to the following:  disruptive behavior, profanity or vulgarity, harassment of other students, obstruction of the learning environment, plagiarism or dishonesty.  Students may not knowingly access, alter, damage, delete, destroy or otherwise use any data, computer, computer system or computer network in order to harass, disrupt, destroy, or disturb the class online learning environment.

Academic Honesty:

It is a violation of college policy to plagiarize, to recycle work, or to cheat or attempt to cheat on exams. 
You must not:

take others’ thoughts or words without appropriate acknowledgment;

submit work that has been written or revised in part or in whole by another person;

submit work that you have submitted for another class, or

cheat or attempt to cheat on a quiz or exam.

Penalties for Academic Dishonesty:

Any assignment which shows significant evidence of  plagiarism will receive no credit.

Work which has been copied from another student will result in both students receiving no credit for that assignment.

Repeated instances of academic dishonesty will result in a failing grade for the class and will be reported to the college for appropriate disciplinary action.
