Course Evaluation Practices:

Please note that the professors teaching this course have agreed to 
the following practices.  We wish to encourage behaviours that will 
help students to be successful in the workplace, and to ensure that
students receive credit for their individual work.
1. For submission of assignments and projects, the professor will 
specify, in writing:
	a) due dates and special instructions for submissions
	b) deductions for overdue submissions
2. All assignments must be completed as individual efforts unless the 
professor states otherwise in writing.
3. Tests must be written as scheduled by the professor. A makeup test 
will only be provided to students who have an acceptable explanation 
for their absence, or students who provide acceptable    
documentation, such as a medical certificate, explaining their 
absence. These special situations must be arranged as soon as 
possible with the professor.  There may be limitations on timing for 
makeup exams.
4. A student must average at least 50% on the tests combined in order 
to receive credit for this course.
5. Professors reserve the right to adjust the number of quizzes,    
assignments, etc. in the specified ranges.  Students will be given   
at least 2 weeks notice of adjustments inside the ranges.

Academic Honesty
The principle of academic honesty requires that all work submitted for evaluation and course credit be the original, unassisted work of the student. Cheating or plagiarism including borrowing, copying, purchasing or collaborating on work, except for group projects arranged and approved by the faculty member, or otherwise submitting work that is not the student's own violates this principle and will not be tolerated. Instances of academic dishonesty, including assisting another student to cheat, will be penalized as detailed in the Student Handbook.

Students who have any questions regarding whether or not specific circumstances involve a breach of academic honesty are advised to discuss them with the faculty member prior to submitting the assignment in question.

Discrimination and Harassment
Sheridan is committed to provide a learning environment that respects the dignity, self esteem and fair treatment of every person engaged in the learning process. Behaviour which is inconsistent with this principle will not be tolerated. Details of Sheridan's policy on Harassment and Discrimination are available in the Student Handbook.
