    Course & Instructor Policies


    (make-up exams, extra credit, late work, special assignments, class attendance, classroom citizenship, etc.)

    • Projects can be done by a team of two students.


    • Class participation is important. For your own sake, you should not miss any of
    the classes. There will be several pop-up quizes in class. If you miss any, you get
    0 point for that pop-up quiz.
    • If you cheat in any exam or homework, you will be fairly punished. Do not even
    try. I have seen cases where students were evicted from school. The bad record
    might be permanently stored.
    • The only allowable reason that you cannot attend the exam is that your body is
    physically unable to move due to an illness. A job interview or your own wedding
    is not an allowable excuse.
    • I have been spending a lot of time preparing the course and would like to give you
    the best that a good student at UTD deserves to have. I am very serious in good
    teaching.
    • If you are not serious in learning, please do not take this course.
    • A penalty of 10% deduction each day for late submission of homework or
    projects will be given; after 5 days of delay, the homework or project will get 0
    point.
    • After the final grade is given, a student should not come to \negotiate" a better
    grade. I am fair. In my whole teaching career, I have never changed a student
    grade after it is given.

    Field Trip Policies


    Off-campus Instruction and Course Activities

    Off-campus, out-of-state, and foreign instruction and activities are subject to state law and

    http://www.utdallas.edu/BusinessAffairs/Travel_Risk_Activities.htm. Additional information is
    available from the office of the school dean. Below is a description of any travel and/or risk-
    related activity associated with this course.

    Course Syllabus Page 2


    Student Conduct & Discipline

    The University of Texas System and The University of Texas at Dallas have rules and regulations
    for the orderly and efficient conduct of their business. It is the responsibility of each student and
    each student organization to be knowledgeable about the rules and regulations which govern
    student conduct and activities. General information on student conduct and discipline is contained
    in the UTD publication, A to Z Guide, which is provided to all registered students each academic
    year.

    The University of Texas at Dallas administers student discipline within the procedures of
    recognized and established due process. Procedures are defined and described in the Rules and
    Regulations, Board of Regents, The University of Texas System, Part 1, Chapter VI, Section 3, and
    in Title V, Rules on Student Services and Activities of the university’s Handbook of Operating
    Procedures. Copies of these rules and regulations are available to students in the Office of the
    Dean of Students, where staff members are available to assist students in interpreting the rules and
    regulations (SU 1.602, 972/883-6391).

    A student at the university neither loses the rights nor escapes the responsibilities of citizenship.
    He or she is expected to obey federal, state, and local laws as well as the Regents’ Rules,
    university regulations, and administrative rules. Students are subject to discipline for violating the
    standards of conduct whether such conduct takes place on or off campus, or whether civil or
    criminal penalties are also imposed for such conduct.

    Academic Integrity

    The faculty expects from its students a high level of responsibility and academic honesty. Because
    the value of an academic degree depends upon the absolute integrity of the work done by the
    student for that degree, it is imperative that a student demonstrate a high standard of individual
    honor in his or her scholastic work.

    Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, statements, acts or omissions related to
    applications for enrollment or the award of a degree, and/or the submission as one’s own work or
    material that is not one’s own. As a general rule, scholastic dishonesty involves one of the
    following acts: cheating, plagiarism, collusion and/or falsifying academic records. Students
    suspected of academic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary proceedings.

    Plagiarism, especially from the web, from portions of papers for other classes, and from any other
    source is unacceptable and will be dealt with under the university’s policy on plagiarism (see
    general catalog for details). This course will use the resources of turnitin.com, which searches the
    web for possible plagiarism and is over 90% effective.

    Email Use

    The University of Texas at Dallas recognizes the value and efficiency of communication between
    faculty/staff and students through electronic mail. At the same time, email raises some issues
    concerning security and the identity of each individual in an email exchange. The university
    encourages all official student email correspondence be sent only to a student’s U.T. Dallas email
    address and that faculty and staff consider email from students official only if it originates from a
    UTD student account. This allows the university to maintain a high degree of confidence in the
    identity of all individual corresponding and the security of the transmitted information. UTD
    furnishes each student with a free email account that is to be used in all communication with
    university personnel. The Department of Information Resources at U.T. Dallas provides a method
    for students to have their U.T. Dallas mail forwarded to other accounts.

    Withdrawal from Class

    Course Syllabus Page 3


    The administration of this institution has set deadlines for withdrawal of any college-level courses.
    These dates and times are published in that semester's course catalog. Administration procedures
    must be followed. It is the student's responsibility to handle withdrawal requirements from any
    class. In other words, I cannot drop or withdraw any student. You must do the proper paperwork
    to ensure that you will not receive a final grade of "F" in a course if you choose not to attend the
    class once you are enrolled.

    Student Grievance Procedures

    Procedures for student grievances are found in Title V, Rules on Student Services and Activities,
    of the university’s Handbook of Operating Procedures.

    In attempting to resolve any student grievance regarding grades, evaluations, or other fulfillments
    of academic responsibility, it is the obligation of the student first to make a serious effort to
    resolve the matter with the instructor, supervisor, administrator, or committee with whom the
    grievance originates (hereafter called “the respondent”). Individual faculty members retain
    primary responsibility for assigning grades and evaluations. If the matter cannot be resolved at
    that level, the grievance must be submitted in writing to the respondent with a copy of the
    respondent’s School Dean. If the matter is not resolved by the written response provided by the
    respondent, the student may submit a written appeal to the School Dean. If the grievance is not
    resolved by the School Dean’s decision, the student may make a written appeal to the Dean of
    Graduate or Undergraduate Education, and the deal will appoint and convene an Academic
    Appeals Panel. The decision of the Academic Appeals Panel is final. The results of the academic
    appeals process will be distributed to all involved parties.

    Copies of these rules and regulations are available to students in the Office of the Dean of
    Students, where staff members are available to assist students in interpreting the rules and
    regulations.

    Incomplete Grade Policy

    As per university policy, incomplete grades will be granted only for work unavoidably missed at
    the semester’s end and only if 70% of the course work has been completed. An incomplete grade
    must be resolved within eight (8) weeks from the first day of the subsequent long semester. If the
    required work to complete the course and to remove the incomplete grade is not submitted by the
    specified deadline, the incomplete grade is changed automatically to a grade of F.

    Disability Services

    The goal of Disability Services is to provide students with disabilities educational opportunities
    equal to those of their non-disabled peers. Disability Services is located in room 1.610 in the
    Student Union. Office hours are Monday and Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; Tuesday and
    Wednesday, 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; and Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

    The contact information for the Office of Disability Services is:


    The University of Texas at Dallas, SU 22
    PO Box 830688
    Richardson, Texas 75083-0688
    (972) 883-2098 (voice or TTY)

    Essentially, the law requires that colleges and universities make those reasonable adjustments
    necessary to eliminate discrimination on the basis of disability. For example, it may be necessary
    to remove classroom prohibitions against tape recorders or animals (in the case of dog guides) for
    students who are blind. Occasionally an assignment requirement may be substituted (for example,

    Course Syllabus Page 4


    a research paper versus an oral presentation for a student who is hearing impaired). Classes
    enrolled students with mobility impairments may have to be rescheduled in accessible facilities.
    The college or university may need to provide special services such as registration, note-taking, or
    mobility assistance.

    It is the student’s responsibility to notify his or her professors of the need for such an
    accommodation. Disability Services provides students with letters to present to faculty members
    to verify that the student has a disability and needs accommodations. Individuals requiring special
    accommodation should contact the professor after class or during office hours.

    Religious Holy Days

    The University of Texas at Dallas will excuse a student from class or other required activities for
    the travel to and observance of a religious holy day for a religion whose places of worship are
    exempt from property tax under Section 11.20, Tax Code, Texas Code Annotated.

    The student is encouraged to notify the instructor or activity sponsor as soon as possible regarding
    the absence, preferably in advance of the assignment. The student, so excused, will be allowed to
    take the exam or complete the assignment within a reasonable time after the absence: a period
    equal to the length of the absence, up to a maximum of one week. A student who notifies the
    instructor and completes any missed exam or assignment may not be penalized for the absence. A
    student who fails to complete the exam or assignment within the prescribed period may receive a
    failing grade for that exam or assignment.

    If a student or an instructor disagrees about the nature of the absence [i.e., for the purpose of
    observing a religious holy day] or if there is similar disagreement about whether the student has
    been given a reasonable time to complete any missed assignments or examinations, either the
    student or the instructor may request a ruling from the chief executive officer of the institution, or
    his or her designee. The chief executive officer or designee must take into account the legislative
    intent of TEC 51.911(b), and the student and instructor will abide by the decision of the chief
    executive officer or designee.

    These descriptions and timelines are subject to change at the discretion of the Professor.
