Academic Honesty

All students are responsible for maintaining the highest standards of honesty and integrity in every phase of their academic careers. The penalties for academic dishonesty are severe and ignorance is not an acceptable defense. Students should pay particular attention to sections 5 and 7 of the academic honesty statement at www.uga.edu/ovpi/academic_honesty/culture_honesty.htm

Attendance Policy

Students are allowed no more than 5 absences including both excused and unexcused absences. On the sixth absence a student may be withdrawn from the course with a grade of W or WF (definitely WF after midpoint). Do not regard these 5 allowed absences as "personal free days". These are only to be used in cases of illnesses or family emergencies. In some cases, verification may be required.

Standard disclaimer: This syllabus provides general guidelines for the course and is subject to changes deemed necessary by the instructor or the department.
