Cheating Policy
The cheating policy is simple. If your are caught once at cheating you will be given an E for the course. All cheating instances will be brought to the attention of the department chairman in an attempt to have the student removed from the department, college, or university. You shall not cheat on quizzes. You should work together as much as possible. However, it is considered cheating if you copy another person's work or do not do the work yourself.
Communication
We would like to meet with you when you have problems, but, if you can't, please use e-mail. Much of the information for the class will not be given on paper but instead through the WEB.
