• Regular attendance is essential and expected. A student who incurs an excessive number of absences may be withdrawn from the class at the instructor’s discretion.
• Be courteous when using mobile devices. Make sure your cell phone is turned fully off, or silent. No texting, reading emails, playing games, or whatever else it is that people do with those gizmos.
• If you use a laptop in class, please turn off the sound.
Academic Integrity & Honesty Policy Statement
Students and all others who work with information, ideas, texts, images, music, inventions, and other intellectual property owe their audience and sources accuracy and honesty in using, crediting, and citing sources.
As a community of intellectual and professional workers, the College recognizes its responsibility for providing instruction in information literacy and academic integrity, offering models of good practice, and responding vigilantly and appropriately to infractions of academic integrity.
Accordingly, academic dishonesty is prohibited in The City University of New York and at New York City College of Technology and is punishable by penalties, including failing grades, suspension, and expulsion. The complete text of the College policy on Academic Integrity may be found in the catalog.
So, lack of knowledge of the academic honesty policy is not a reasonable explanation for a violation. Questions related to course assignments and the academic honesty policy should be directed to the instructor.
Some sanctions are certainly imposed on the student committed to any academic fraud. It varies depending upon the instructor’s evaluation of the nature and gravity of the offense. Possible sanctions include but are not limited to, the following:
(1) Require the student to redo the assignment;
(2) Require the student to complete another assignment;
(3) Assign a grade of zero to the assignment;
(4) Assign a final grade of zero for the whole course.
