PSYC 350/450 Human Neuropsychology, Fall 2012
Academic Integrity
All students will be held to the University's standards on academic dishonesty, as described in
the Student Handbook and Planner and on the University's website. Academic dishonesty
includes cheating, plagiarizing, recycling, fabricating, or unauthorized collaborations.
Consistent with this policy, no form of academic dishonesty (e.g., using unauthorized aids
during exams, using the words of another to express an idea without giving credit to the
original writer) will be tolerated. Violations are taken seriously and may result in a failing grade
for the course, referral to the Assistant Vice President for Student Services, and/or dismissal
from the university in accordance with university policy.
Students with Disabilities
Students with documented disabilities or special needs must notify me of their specific needs
within the first 2 weeks of the course and provide documentation from the Office of Disability
Services of the Academic Success Center (312-341-3818, AUD 128; Schaumburg 847-619-
7978, SCH 363; http://www.roosevelt.edu/StudentServices/AcademicSuccessCenter.aspx) so
that accommodations can be planned. Please contact me even if you do not wish to make use
of accommodations at this time. This Office exists to facilitate the establishment of appropriate
accommodations.
Religious Holidays
Roosevelt University respects the rights of students to observe major religious holidays and
will make accommodations, upon request, for such observances. Students who wish to
observe religious holidays must inform me in writing within the first two weeks of each
semester of their intent to observe the holiday. However, all work missed for such absences
must be made up. Students who do not arrange for excused absences by the deadline are not
entitled to such accommodations.
Policies
The following policies are in place to ensure that everyone has an optimal learning
environment free from distractions:
• Students are expected to attend all class sessions.
• Please be on time. Late comers are disruptive to others in the class. If your schedule
prevents you from a timely arrival, please speak with me at the start of the semester.
• If you must eat or drink (non-alcoholic beverages only), please choose items that do not
make noise and clean up after yourself. If your food is fragrant, you have to share.
• Please turn off cell phones and MP3 players.
• No audio or video-taping unless approved to do so.
• Please ask me before bring guests to class.
