COURSE AND UNIVERSITY POLICIES
Grading: Per University policy, student work will be assessed as follows:
A represents achievement that is outstanding relative to course requirements.
B represents achievement that is significantly above the level of course requirements
C represents achievement that meets the course requirements in every respect
D represents achievement that is worthy of credit even though it fails to meet fully the course requirements
F (or N) -- Represents failure and signifies that the work was either (1) completed but at a level of achievement that is not worthy of credit or (2) was not completed and there was no negotiation between the instructor and the student for an Incomplete
S represents achievement that is satisfactory, which is equivalent to a C- or better
Special Needs: Students with documented disability conditions that affect their ability to participate fully in class or to meet all course requirements should contact the instructor and Disability Services, so that appropriate accommodations can be arranged. Further information is available from Disability Services (180 McNamara Alumni Center, 612-626-1333 TTY/voice, and http://ds.umn.edu/ ).
Scholastic Misconduct, Disruptive Conduct and Sexual Harassment:
All activities in the University, including this course, are governed by the University of Minnesota Student Conduct Code . All students should be familiar with the Student Conduct Code; see http://www1.umn.edu/regents/policies/academic/Student_Conduct_Code.pdf
Academic dishonesty, scholastic misconduct, in any portion of the academic work for a course shall be grounds for awarding a grade of F or N for the entire course at the instructor's discretion. Scholastic misconduct is any act that violates the rights of another student with respect to academic work or that involves misrepresentation of a student's own work. Scholastic misconduct includes (but is not limited to) cheating on assignments or examinations, plagiarizing (misrepresenting as one's own anything done by another), inventing or falsifying research or other findings with the intent to deceive, submitting the same or substantially similar papers (or creative work) for more than one course without consent of all instructors concerned, depriving another of necessary course materials, and sabotaging another's work.
Students who engage in behavior that disrupts the learning environment for others may be subject to disciplinary action under the Code, including registration cancellation. Sexual harassment by or toward a member of the University community is prohibited. For questions or concerns about the University's sexual harassment policies, contact the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action, (612) 624-9547.
