In all matters of intellectual pursuit, UTEP faculty and students must strive to achieve based on the quality of the worked produced by the individual. In the classroom and in all other academic activities, students are expected to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. Any form of scholastic dishonesty is an affront to the pursuit of knowledge and jeopardizes the quality of the degree awarded to all graduates of UTEP. Any student who commits an act of scholastic dishonesty is subject to discipline. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to another person, any act designed to give unfair advantage to a student or the attempt to commit such acts. Proven violations of the detailed regulations, as printed in the Handbook of Operating Procedures (HOP) and available in the office of the Dean of Students, may result in sanctions ranging from disciplinary probation, to failing grades on the work in question, to failing grades in the course, to suspension or dismissal, among others. Students with Disabilities If you believe you may have a condition that requires accommodations, contact the Disabled Student Services Office at 747-5148, go to room 306 E. Union, or email: dss@utep.edu. Student Responsibility: Individual students must operate with integrity in their dealings with faculty and other students; engage the learning materials with appropriate attention and dedication; maintain their engagement when challenged by difficult learning activities; contribute to the learning of others; and perform to standards set by the faculty Attendance Policy: I will take attendance three times this semester: the first day of class, census day and during the last week of classes. The purpose is to assure that you are properly registered so that you may obtain credit for the course. Other than that, you are all adults and have numerous priorities. I will assume that this course is among them. Be aware, however that the majority of what will be introduced will be done during the class session. You will not do well if you miss many classes.
