Forest Class Policies

We will adhere to the contents of the Student handbook with particular emphasis on the Student conduct system.

The following represents the student conduct that I would like to emphasize

1. Talking: If you want to talk about issues unrelated to the class discussion, please leave and come back when you are ready to learn. It is wrong to assume your neighbor wants to talk to you instead of trying to learn.
2. Tardy: It is unfair to interupt the class by entering the classroom late. Do not enter the classroom late.
3. Plagiarism: To check for plagiarism, click the word Plagiarism for a definition, I will randomly choose five words from several sentences and search the internet for sentences which contain those same five words. Plagiarism falls under the "Academic Dishonesty" section of the student handbook. Discipline for students who plagiarize can range from a failing grade to dismissal from class. The Faculty Staff Handbook defines plagiarism in "Part 6 Student Affairs, Section IX. Student Conduct , A. Academic Dishonesty 2. Definitions , b. Plagiarism". The Faculty Staff Handbook also outlines the procedure to be followed when Academic Dishonesty is suspected in "4. Procedures for Determination of Academic Dishonesty and Imposition of Penalties" below the definition of plagiarism.
4. Electronic communication devices are not permitted during exams. You will be asked to leave and you will be investigated for violating the student conduct code if found using such a device during an exam.
