Policies
Academic Dishonesty
DonÕt cheat. Seriously. Doing well in this class is not about
getting a good grade,
itÕs about doing good research later or getting an amazing job.
And then there is that -
Purdue prohibits
"dishonesty in connection with any University activity. Cheating,
plagiarism, or knowingly furnishing false information to the University are examples
of dishonesty." [Part 5, Section III-B-2-a, University Regulations] Furthermore, the University Senate has stipulated
that "the commitment of acts of cheating, lying, and deceit in
any of their diverse forms (such as the use of substitutes for taking
examinations, the use of illegal cribs, plagiarism, and copying during
examinations) is dishonest and must not be tolerated. Moreover, knowingly to
aid and abet, directly or indirectly, other parties in committing dishonest
acts is in itself dishonest." [University Senate Document 72-18,
December 15, 1972] |

Use of
Copyrighted Materials
Among the materials that may be protected by
copyright law are the lectures, notes, and other material presented in class or
as part of the course. Always assume the materials presented by an instructor
are protected by copyright unless the instructor has stated otherwise. Students
enrolled in, and authorized visitors to, Purdue University courses are
permitted to take notes, which they may use for individual/group study or for
other non-commercial purposes reasonably arising from enrollment in the course
or the University generally.
Notes taken in class are, however, generally
considered to be Òderivative worksÓ of the instructorÕs presentations and
materials, and they are thus subject to the instructorÕs copyright in such
presentations and materials. No individual is permitted to sell or otherwise
barter notes, either to other students or to any commercial concern, for a
course without the express written permission of the course instructor. To
obtain permission to sell or barter notes, the individual wishing to sell or
barter the notes must be registered in the course or must be an approved visitor
to the class. Course instructors may choose to grant or not grant such
permission at their own discretion, and may require a review of the notes prior
to their being sold or bartered. If they do grant such permission, they may
revoke it at any time, if they so choose.
Grief
Absence Policy for Students

therefore provides the following rights to students facing the loss of a family
member through the Grief Absence Policy for Students (GAPS). GAPS Policy:

equivalent credit and to demonstrate evidence of meeting the learning outcomes
for misses assignments or assessments in the event of the death of a member of
the studentÕs family.

University is committed to providing a safe and secure campus environment for
members of the university community. Purdue strives to create an educational
environment for students and a work environment for employees that promote
educational and career goals. Violent Behavior impedes such goals. Therefore,

Students
with Disabilities
Below is Purdue's plate for
supporting students with disabilities.
Purdue University is required to respond to the needs of the students
with disabilities as outlined in both the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 through the provision of auxiliary
aids and services that allow a student with a disability to fully access and
participate in the programs, services, and activities at Purdue University. If you have a
disability that requires special academic accommodation, please make an
appointment to speak with me within the first three (3) weeks of the semester
in order to discuss any adjustments.
It is important that we talk about this at the beginning of the
semester. It is the student's
responsibility to notify the Disability Resource Center (http://www.purdue.edu/drc) of an impairment/condition that may
require accommodations and/or classroom modifications. |
Emergencies
In the event of a major campus emergency,
course requirements, deadlines and grading percentages are subject to changes
that may be necessitated by a revised semester calendar or other
circumstances beyond the instructorÕs control. Relevant changes to this
course will be posted onto the course website or can be obtained by
contacting the instructors or TAs via email or phone. You are expected to read your
@purdue.edu email on a frequent basis. |
