- Exam Make-up Policy
Exams can only be rescheduled for individuals with a valid excuse:
illness (as documented by a physician's note) or work-related
(as documented by an employer's note). If you have a conflict
with one of the exam dates, please let the professor know as soon
as possible so that other arrangements can be made. There will
be no make-up exams except for cases resolved in advance with
the instructor or where a physician’s notice is available.

Policy on Cheating
It is the responsibility of each student to adhere to the principles
of academic integrity. Academic integrity means that a student
is honest with him/herself, fellow students, instructors, and
the University in matters concerning his or her educational endeavors.
Thus, a student should not falsely claim the work of another as
one's own, or misrepresent him/herself so that the measures of
one's academic performance do not reflect his/her own work or
personal knowledge. In this regard, cheating will not be tolerated. Cheating includes (but is not limited to) any communication
(written or oral) during examinations and sharing of work such
as using the same models or copying work. All homework and projects
must be an individual effort unless specifically noted. Students
who cheat on any assignment or during any examination will be
assigned a failing grade for the course. Therefore avoid all appearance of improper behavior! Students who witness cheating should report the incident to the
instructor as soon as possible. Students are also welcome to discuss
any concerns related to cheating with Dr. Kline, the Chair of
Mechanical Engineering, or Dr. Grimm, Associate Chair of the Biomedical
Engineering Program.

Student Responsibilities
Students are expected to attend class on a regular basis and participate
fully in all discussions. Students who experience trouble with
the coursework are expected to discuss this with the professor
as early as possible in order to maximize their learning from
the course. Any student who possesses knowledge of an episode
of academic dishonesty within the course is expected to report
this to the professor. All students must obtain an e-mail account and are encouraged
to access it on a regular basis for course discussion and important
notices. |
