Academic Dishonesty
Please review the references above or the Calendar section (http://www.usask.ca/calendar/policies/studentrights/)
concerning academic dishonesty, particularly the section on plagiarism (the presentation of the work or idea of
another in such a way as to give others the impression that it is the work or idea of the presenter). St. Thomas More
College follows the rules regarding Academic Dishonesty as delineated in the University of Saskatchewan Calendar.
Of these, plagiarism is a particularly serious offence that involves presenting another person’s writing, ideas, or
creative work as your own. When quoting, paraphrasing, describing, presenting, summarizing, or translating the
work of others, you must acknowledge, the source of the information you use, which includes ensuring that the
reader can differentiate between your words and the words of others. Sources may come in print, electronic, digital,
visual, or oral form, and may be provided by a published author, fellow student, artist, or Internet site. Purchasing
papers is not permitted. It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes plagiarism; when in doubt, consult
your professor. The policy can be found on the following web site:
http://www.stmcollege.ca/academic/plagiarism.as .
Class Format:
Seminar: Students are expected to participate in class organization sessions, in mix and match projects, in listening
to presentations of proposals, in giving constructive criticism to other student’s proposals and in problem
solving sessions.
Class attendance and participation:
"Regular and punctual attendance is expected of students in all their classes (including lectures, laboratories,
tutorials, and seminars)." ( http://www.usask.ca/calendar/policies/attendance/ ). Attendance and participation in
discussion will be evaluated. Students who are absent for other students' class presentations will receive a grade of 0
for their own presentation unless a written medical excuse is provided. Attendance will be recorded at the beginning
of each class. Attendance marks will only be assigned if students attend an entire class (partial marks will not be
assigned if a student leaves class early). Participation marks will be based on student engagement and preparedness
in class activities.
Class cancellation:
If for any reason class has to be cancelled you will be notified through PAWS.
Grading scheme:
