    REGULATIONS FOR STUDENTS

    Attendance and Participation:


    Students are expected to prepare for, attend and actively participate in all class sessions and exercises, to sit the required tests and examinations, and to submit written assignments as and when required. NOTE: It is Douglas College policy that students who miss more than

    30% of classes in a semester without a legitimate reason will receive a UN Grade for the class. Awareness of Announcements:
    Students are responsible for all in-class announcements concerning course information and schedule changes whether or not they are in attendance.

    Academic Dishonesty:
    Plagiarism is the deliberate formal presentation or submission of the research, words, ideas, illustrations or diagrams of others as ones own without citation or credit. Cheating is the use of unauthorized aids, assistance or materials in the preparation of assignments or in examinations. During examinations it is considered cheating to communicate with others to obtain information, to copy from the work of others or to deliberately expose or convey information to others. The resubmission of ones own work for which credit has already been granted in another course, without instructor permission, is also cheating. Reprimands and appeals will be exercised according to official Douglas College policy http://www.douglas.bc.ca/about/policies/edu/academdis.html

    Class Evaluation Requirements


    Missed tests or examinations: Tests and examinations will be offered only during the scheduled date and time of sitting. Exceptions may be considered in cases of medical reasons supported by a physician's note or with prior agreement due to rare, unavoidable reasons. It is the responsibility of the student to inform the instructor at the earliest reasonable opportunity. Conflicts with work and travel requirements are NOT considered to be unavoidable. Late assignments, case submissions and term paper: Late assignments will not be accepted. Absence from class is no excuse for missing an assignment.

    Professional, Business-like Behaviour


    In General: Contribute to the creation of a friendly, productive, interesting, and thoughtful classroom environment that promotes learning. Timely Arrival to Class: You are expected to arrive to class on time, and avoid disturbing the class if you do enter the room late. Chronic lateness will result in reduced participation marks. Cell Phones: Please turn off your cell phone when in class. Ringing phones are a distraction. Food and Beverages: Please DO NOT bring food into the classroom to eat. Beverages such as coffee, water, soft drinks are fine. Disturbances: Loud talking off topic, clattering notebook keyboards and other distracting behaviour will be strongly discouraged by the instructor so as to maintain and encourage student focus on course material.
