Academic Honor Policy:
Participants in my courses are expected
to observe the standards of academic integrity set forth in the Students
Rights and Responsibilities section of the University of
Michigan-Flint Catalog. These standards are critical because intellectual
integrity is the most fundamental value of an academic community.
At the same time, it is helpful to clarify the role of
collaborative learning and its relationship to these standards of academic integrity.
I believe it is clear that much of the richness in any organizational setting -
among and between learners - both in and outside of formal classroom settings. I
encourage and support such collaborative learning and believe it can be completely
consistent with these standards of academic integrity.
I encourage and expect collaboration among learners. Feel
free to discuss assignments, issues and questions with other students. However, when
it come time to submit written work for grading, I expect, indeed insist, that the
submitted work must be your individual work. While it is OK to receive help
with a program assignment you are working on; the program you hand in is to be your own
work. If duplicate or essentially duplicate programs are handed in, both
students will receive a 0 for the assignment. Multiple occurrences of
plagiarism may result in action ranging from reduced grade or failure of a course, to
expulsion from the University or revocation of degree.

Email Accounts:
As a student at UM-Flint you receive and email account, and you
are expected to use this email account for course related work. While you
may use another email account for personal use, school and course related communication
should take place via your campus email account. Yes, you can have messages from
your student account redirected to your personal use account, but you still need to check
your student account regularly to pick up responses to email sent by course instructors.

The Late Assignment Policy in
all of my courses unless specifically specified otherwise is to deduct 20%
of the total point value of an assignment for each weekday
that it is late. After one week of due date assignments are worth 0 points.
Attendance for Online Courses: You are
expected to sign onto the course web site at least three times a week.
Check out Announcements, Discussion Board activity, Course Documents and
Assignments. You are expected to complete the chapter quizzes as the material is
covered, in the course syllabus. Regular attendance is an important element in your
successful completion of this course.
Students with Disabilities:
Students with disabilities that may restrict their full
participation in course activities are encouraged to meet with the
instructor or to contact the Office of Accessibility Services (part of
the Student Development
