  9. ATTENDANCE POLICY:

    10. Attendance will be recorded each lab session. No provisions will be made for making up absences from labs. A student is allowed ONE ABSENCE for each MIDTERM. That is, one allowed absence before midterm, and one after. A missed lab will still result in a reduction of the grade for that lab report. Two or more absences within a single midterm will automatically fail that student. Note that this does not apply to the Recitation sessions--but no provisions will be made for making up quizzes.

  10. ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY:
    Cheating, plagiarism, submitting another person’s material as one’s own, or doing work for another person which will receive academic credit are all impermissible.  This includes the use of unauthorized books, notebooks, or other sources in order to secure or give help during an examination, the unauthorized copying of examinations, assignments, reports, or term papers, laboratory reports, drawings or the presentation of unacknowledged material as if it were the student’s own work.  Disciplinary action may result in no credit for an assignment or exam and/or failure of the course.
