Homework Organizational Requirement ALL essays and word questions should be typed. Hand written essays will be returned with no credit. Mathematical formulas can be done by hand BUT it is preferred that they are done via computer as well. In real life today, no one produces reports or presentations by hand.there is no reason why class reports should be hand written.it looks unprofessional. Participation and Professional Classroom Conduct The classroom is a special environment in which students and faculty come together to promote learning and growth. It is essential to this learning environment that respect for the rights of others seeking to learn, respect for the professionalism of the instructor, and the general goals of academic freedom are maintained. Differences of viewpoint or concerns should be expressed in terms, which are supportive of the learning process, creating an environment in which students and faculty may learn to reason with clarity and compassion, to share themselves without losing their identities, and to develop an understanding of the community in which they live. Student conduct, which disrupts the learning process, shall not be tolerated and may lead to disciplinary action and/or removal from class. All cell phones, pagers, and other communication devices are NOT permitted to be used in class at any time. Academic Integrity In accordance with the CSU Channel Islands policy on academic dishonesty, students in this course who submit work or others as their own (plagiarize), cheat on tests and examinations, help other students cheat or plagiarize, or commit other acts of academic dishonesty will receive appropriate academic penalties, up to and including failing the course.
